• 10 Building Blocks for a Solid Family (based on the book by Jim Burns) provides encouragement and time-tested techniques for anyone who wants to ensure the health and happiness of their family; find out more at homeword.com. Led by Bryan Champ, Connections Minister.
• Ladies Class: “Made to Crave” (a study by Lysa TerKeurst) is the missing link between a woman’s desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make it happen; led by Lois Breedlove.
• Ladies Class: Esther: It’s Tough Being a Woman (Beth Moore study). If you’ve ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the Bible study for you; led by April Fillman.
• Ladies Class: Jesus The One & Only (Beth Moore study); get to know Jesus intimately, as though you had walked with Him during His days of earthly ministry. This study will lead you through the hills of Galilee with the Teacher, across the lake with the Master, and finally, on the road toward the cross with the Savior. This class, led by Stephanie Hipskind is a DVD/discussion class – no homework!
• Men’s Class: Taught by Greg Pittman and based on the book, Habitudes by Dr. Tim Elmore; this class covers part one of a leadership journey that begins with self-leadership. We must lead ourselves before we lead anyone else. Learn leadership truths that will enable you to wisely influence others and make a difference in the world you live in. Two classes available:
  • Year 1 - The Art of Connecting with Others
    
  • Year 2 - The Art of Changing Culture
    

What is it and Why Do We Need to Do it?

Starting Monday, October 31, and ending on Sunday, November 6, Cedar Ridge attenders will be challenged to eat on less than $2 a day. 20% of the world lives in poverty and nearly half of the world’s population lives on less than $2 a day: two dollars a day for food, housing, school, transportation, medical emergencies, and all other expenses. The $2 a Day Challenge invites you to experience a little of what life is like by eating on less than two dollars a day for one week.

Journal throughout the experience, and at the end of the week, come together with your small group to share what you have learned, what questions have been raised, what you struggled with, and how you felt about the challenge.

The Challenge Has Three Simple Rules:

1. Spend only $2 per day per person on all food and drinks.
2. Only eat what you buy during the week of the challenge – no stocking up the week before!
3. If you spend more than $2 one day, deduct the amount you went over from the next day’s expenses.

Eating basic food like pasta, rice, eggs, potatoes, and beans can help you meet the challenge. Buying in mass quantities or exchanging meals with friends – just be sure to subtract the total you spend on bulk purchase from the rest of the week’s spending.
