The study of this quarter is primarily from the New Testament. Its three units follow the theme of worship as it pertains to a human response to God.
UNIT 1 � IN AWE OF GOD: The four lessons in this unit explore the amazing power of God in Hebrews, Matthew, and Luke. In Lesson 3, Luke�s account of the Christmas story recalls the praise and adulation expressed to God by both the angels and shepherds.
UNIT 2 � LEARNING TO PRAY: The four lessons in this unit look at prayer as found in Luke, John, Hebrews, and James.
UNIT 3 � STEWARDSHIP FOR LIFE: The four lessons in this study examine various aspects of stewardship from Matthew, Luke, and Ephesians.
