Sample Syllabus

The Life Change Adventure Study Group

Sunday Mornings 9:45 a.m.
Room ???

This group will begin Sunday January 31 and will meet weekly through April 25. We will take time
to get to know one another and encourage each other as we learn how to engage in the process of
life change through a careful study of Ephesians 4. We will watch a 20-25 minute video teaching
and then engage with the teaching through interaction and discussion.

This syllabus will help you see our schedule and know what will be covered each week. I want to
encourage you to participate in the reading each week to help prepare you for discussion as
together we understand how to apply these principles to our lives.
