Children’s Classes
We currently provide nursery care (0-24 months) and a preschool class (2 years - kindergarten) during the 10am worship gathering. Ages 2 years - kindergarten will begin in the sanctuary and may be dismissed at the beginning of the sermon to go to their class. (Your kids are welcome to stay with you if you'd prefer.) Every three Sundays we plan to have a Family Worship Sunday, where the preschool class will stay in the sanctuary with their parents. Children can be checked in at the KidsQuest kiosk in the lobby. A Geist Children's Bulletin is available for children staying in the sanctuary designed to help them follow along and participate in various aspects of the corporate worship gathering.

Sermon Discussion Questions
1. When you are talking with non-Christians about biblical truth, how can you gently and respectfully point out errors in their thinking? How can we be faithful to biblical convictions in the face of opposition?
2. While the details of 23:11 were specific to Paul, how does what it reveals about God encourage you today as you seek to share the gospel with those around you?
3. In what ways do you need to trust the Lord in his timing and sovereign purpose in your life this week?
