If For Women Only opened your eyes to things you used
not to understand about men, it probably also raised a
question: So how do I apply this to my life? This follow-up
study will help you do just that. Leaders: Angela Thomas
(214-559-3627 or angelathomas79@hotmail.com),
Debby Smith, and Waverly Wilson.

How People Change
Thursday nights, 6:30-8:30 pm, 6723 Del Norte
June 1–July 20
Can people really change—not just on the surface,
but deep down? Yes, and they do. This study is for normal,
average Christians who are trying to live out the Christian
life; for people who have hit a wall and stopped believing
that real change is possible; and for people trying to help
others change. Leaders: Kari Stainback and Bridget
Bell (214-349-4714 or bridgetb@sbcglobal.net).
Young Women’s Small Group Study
Wednesdays, 6:30 pm, 3004 Potomac 75205
Starting June 7
If you are in your 20s or 30s looking for a way to get
plugged in at PCPC, study God’s Word, and fellowship with
other women your age, then we would love for you to join
this group. We will decide as a group what we would like
to study, so feel free to come with ideas. Leaders: Ashley
Evans (214-212-5821 or ashley.evans@pcpc.org)
and Christi Carter.

Tuesdays, 10:00 am–noon or 7:00–9:00 pm, Room 301-S
May 30–August 22
Have you ever wondered why there are four gospels and
they’re all different? How do they fit together into one story
of the ministry of Jesus Christ? How did God prepare the
world for the coming of Jesus? Leader: Susan Keyes
(214‑369‑9249 or keyes1@charter.net).
Real Sex, Seriously
Tuesdays, 6:30–8:00 pm
June 6–July 11
Based on the book Real Sex by Lauren Winner, this fiveweek study will ask what everyone is wondering about sex.
First off: Why in the world did God say No sex outside
of marriage? Leaders: Shannon Geiger and Hattie
O’Neill (214-224-2722 or hattie.oneill@pcpc.org).
