Impacting Your Workplace for Christ Kenny Kan and Elder Paul Tseng Room B11/13 at 9:45am Are you satisfied with your job? Do you find meaning and purpose in your work life? How confident do you feel about applying your faith into your daily work life? How do you handle conflicts and adversity? How well do you balance work, family, and God in your life? Through lectures, materials by Os Hillman, Christopher Crane, Mike Hamel, Chuck Swindoll, small group sharing, and panel discussions, we will learn about attributes and ways to be an effective workplace witness and leader.

Topics in Second Corinthians Eric Shirley Room B12 at 9:45am Throughout history, the Church has encountered problems. Some problems have been from without, but many were from within. These problems melt away only in the face of God and His solutions to humanities' frailties and woes. From a problem as deep and fundamental as Man's need for reconciliation with God to one as mundane as poverty in this life, these problems can all be faced with hope and courage by the believer. Using the inspired words of Paul in his second epistle to the Corinthians, God directs us to view matters with an eternal perspective. In this class, we will strive to plumb the depths of God's love for us, the God of all comfort, the God whose promises are all "Yes" in Christ Jesus, and the God who in Christ reconciled the world to Himself, not counting men's sins against them. But we will also note the high standards to which God calls believers as we seek to live honorably and glorify the One by Whom we have been called – our Lord Who has done so much for us, and before Whom we will always, to some degree, fall short in this life.

College Sunday School Doyle Zhang, Kevin Seto & team Room B09 at 9:45am College students experience many unique challenges to their faith and opportunities to grow. This class is for undergraduate college students and will be composed of multiple topics intended to home in on their specific needs and issues. Topics will likely be 1-4 weeks in duration. Exceptions for attendance by non-college students will be made for those who have a genuine interest in sharing their lives with the college students. These exceptions must be pre-arranged with Kevin Seto (kevin.seto@cbcmgroups.org), the Young Adult Ministry Leader, or Doyle Zhang (doyle.zhang@cbcmgroups.org), this quarter’s main class coordinator.

Baptism and Church Membership Class Pastor John Tung Room B10 at 9:45am This class will address the basic tenets of the Christian faith.

This class is required for CBCM baptism candidates and applicants for transfer membership. This class is also open to all who desire to grow in their understanding of the basic truths of our faith and our church. Attendance at each session is expected. Our class supplemental readings will be from Wayne Grudem’s book, Christian Beliefs.
