There are so many health benefits of walking, such as improvements in lung strength, blood pressure, resting heart rate, etc. And walking with others will also lead to some great emotional and mental health benefits as well!

If you want to get moving in a safe and healthy way that’s also a lot of fun, join Susan for six weeks of evening walks, starting Monday, Sept. 14, at 6 p.m., at 106 Hillendale Drive in Hattiesburg.

Look how much fun everyone had last year!

“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.”
— 1 Peter 3:15

Do you ever wonder…
• How do we know God exists?
• Can the Bible really be trusted?
• Who is Jesus — and why does it matter?
• Did Jesus truly rise from the dead?
• How can I answer difficult questions about Christianity with confidence and kindness?

Whether you are a new believer, a lifelong Christian or simply seeking deeper understanding, the Basics of Christian Apologetics class will equip you to explain your faith with both truth and grace. This class will be led by Shane Stanford on Wednesday nights at 6 p.m. beginning September 30.

Weekly topics will include:
Week 1: Why Apologetics Matters
Week 2: Does God Exist?
Week 3: Can We Trust the Bible?
Week 4: Who Is Jesus?
Week 5: Why Jesus Rose from the Dead

Throughout the course you will learn to:
• Build confidence in your faith
• Respond thoughtfully to common objections
• Understand the historical evidence for Jesus and the resurrection
• Share the gospel with humility, compassion and confidence

No prior study is required. Bring your Bible, your questions and an open heart.
