Teacher: Cordell Schulten:
This is an inter-generational ABF dedicated to verse-by-verse study of the Bible. Currently we are studying the Apostle Paul's Epistle to Titus, using discussion questions prepared by the teacher. Each week we also spend time at the beginning of class sharing prayer requests and praises for the ways God has been working in our lives and the lives of our loved ones, neighbors, friends and co-workers. We also enjoy fellowship with one another as well as coffee and home-made goodies that various members of the class prepare.

Ministry 2010 Update
Sunday, August 09, 2009, 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM
Immediately following the 2nd service, we will be holding a potluck meeting to present our 2010 ministry visions/goals. We will be presenting our ministry vision for West Hills over a four-meeting schedule . The first two Sundays will include presentations of individual ministry visions, goals, budgets and people plans.
The third meeting (8/23) will be an roll-up of all the plans, focusing on:
1. Elder 2010 Vision
2. Staffing plan
3. Overall budget
The final meeting (9/13) will be a vote-only meeting on the FY2010 budget. No discussion will be called by the moderator.
The goal is to talk through our ministry plans so that everyone has a chance to understand and participate in the direction for 2010. Once we've voted, the staff and MLT will have a full month lead time on getting ready to reach their goals. We hope that everyone will participate in all five meetings, but if you can't make every meeting, we the videos posted on each "Event" page here on our website.
