	Coming Spring of 2009: The Galatians Class Beginning Thursday night, January 15 and going throughout the Spring, Grace will offer a class that walks through Paul's letter to the Galatians. This is a letter to folks in the first century that confused the gospel with religion. It is a letter of freedom. Cynthia Fore, a very gifted teacher, will be teaching and facilitating the class. The class will meet in the Grace Foothills offices and go from 6:30-8:00. You must register for this class by emailing gracefoothills@gmail.com or call Scott Stewart at 828-808-6867. The fee for the class is $25 (scholarship money is available). Registration deadline is January 11, 2009.

	Divorce Recovery Class Beginning Monday Night, February 2 and ends May 11. This is a class for anyone who has gone through the wounds of a divorce. The class will meet in the Grace Foothills Offices on Monday Nights from 6:00-7:30 and will be co-facilitated by two folks who have gone through divorce themselves. Childcare will be provided (needs to be communicated to us so we can make arrangements). Register for the class (or if you have questions) by emailing Scott Stewart at gracefoothills@gmail.com.

	Pastor In A Coffee Shop Every Thursday morning from 8:15-11:30, Scott sets up his other "office" in the CCC Coffee Shop in Columbus. If you would like to have a cup of coffee (he'll even pay for it) with Scott, send him an email (gracefoothills@gmail.com) and let him know you will be dropping by.
