ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES
BEGINNING APRIL 27 9:15 a.m.
NEW DISCIPLESHIP CLASS
The freedom to grow in godliness—to naturally express Christ’s character through your own personality—is in large part dependent on a deliberate cultivation of the spiritual disciplines. Far from being legalistic, restrictive, or binding, as they are often perceived, the spiritual disciplines are actually the means to unparalleled spiritual liberty. So if you would like to embark on a lifelong quest for godliness, Disciplines for the Christian Life will help you on your way.
Way Walkers will bring twelve people together for twelve Sunday mornings at 9:15 beginning April 27. Way Walkers will guide these twelve through these Christian disciplines: Scripture Reading, Prayer, Worship, Scripture Meditation, Evangelism, Serving, Stewardship, Scripture Application, Fasting, Silence and Solitude, Journaling, and Learning. Way Walkers enrollment may be limited. Enroll with Mark Hansen or at the church office.
NEW FRIENDSHIP/MEMBERSHIP CLASS
will meet for five weeks covering such topics as 1) what the church believes, 2) where the church came from (history), what the church does (ministries) and more. MUST SIGN UP on sheet on bulletin board (location?) or tell the Pastor or Jennifer. Class will meet in the Pastor’s office. Pastor Ralph Partelow and Elder Dan Scheuerman, leaders.
PHILIPPIANS
study continues in the Church sanctuary. Pastor Steve Couch, teacher.
Make attendance at one of these classes a
must every week and you’ll be glad you did.
Chakula Thanks
A HUGE THANK YOU to all who made INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY and the CHAKULA FEST a huge blessing. The contributions of language, songs, food, decorations and myriad other talents helped to make this an event that many would like to see happen again. Steve and I enjoyed the unforgettable experience of attempting to preach in two languages, while everyone else enjoyed hearing new and different sounds.
Blessings,
Pastor Ralph Partelow
More Thanks
