Global Disciples Event Have you heard those stories about a Chinese Christian being put in prison for his/her faith and a church starting in the prison? It’s    happening and the same principles that cause that to happen can work here. Tim Sprunger and Jerry Meadows, of Global Disciples, will facilitate the conversation on the principles of disciple multiplication and we will apply them to our daily lives (at work, on a team, at the golf course…). Come to share and think and pray, not just sit and listen. 

Leading others to live and love like Jesus  

Saturday, April 27th

9:00 am  Donuts and Coffee

9:30-11:30 am Through real life stories we will look at the

principles Jesus set in  motion for multiplying disciples and

reaching the world.

Kids Bible Class  Starting Wednesday, May 1st, from 6:30pm – 7:30pm, Cindy Hunt will be teaching kids in grades 1-8 a Bible class in the commons room.  The class will be Wednesday nights in May and June.  The curriculum will be from Answers in Genesis entitled “The Answers Book for Kids:  22 Questions from Kids on God and the Bible”.  Kids are encouraged to bring their Bibles and learn     answers to some of their questions straight from the Bible.  If you have questions please reach out to Cindy.

 

Potluck and Special Members Meeting April 21st 

     Next Sunday, April 21st, we will gather in the Fellowship Hall for a potluck lunch and members meeting following the Worship service. Each family is asked to bring 2 dishes. The New Vision class is in charge.

     We will be collecting food donations again for Connections Food & Resource Center. Specific items they need are: cereal, crackers, pasta, sliced bread, cake or brownie mixes, fresh fruit  & veggies, peanut butter and dry beans. You are welcome to bring any items you wish though!! Thank you for helping feed our communities!

     The agenda for the members meeting is to approve the minutes from the   Annual Business Meeting and hear a presentation from the Kitchen Remodel Committee including a budget, plan and time for discussion.
