SUNDAY MORNING ADULT BIBLE CLASSES We have classes for all ages, life stations and 2 that are multigenerational. Our study for January and February focuses on “How to Lament Well.” This series invites us to recover the lost language of lament—honest, faithful, conver-sation with God in the midst of pain, grief, and unanswered questions. At the info desk out in the Great Hall is a listing of all our classes and their room numbers. You can also catch one of our Welcome Team with the blue lanyards who can assist you. CONTRIBUTION/ATTENDANCE Culture is everywhere—it is in the society we live in, the schools we attend, the restaurants we keep coming back to, and the social groups we are a part of. And it is even in our churches. Monterey is no exception to this. There is a culture here that matters—because it shapes who we are, what we value, and how we live together. But culture also matters in another sense: it’s something we can name, nurture, and practice. During the first 5 weeks of 2026 we are going to spend time thinking about culture and why it matters. We’ll explore one of five culture-shaping practices—worship, belonging, sacrifice, discipleship, and presence. These are more than words we admire or paint on our walls - they are habits that form us over time. Together, they describe a way of life shaped by Christ and lived out in community. Culture Matters. And this series invites us to consider not only what we value, but how those values take shape among us—how our shared life bears witness to the gospel and forms us into a Christ-shaped people for the sake of the world.
