6PM Kids & Youth Breakout
Adults: REALM for Dummies by Kenneth Dildy
|
From 6-6:45PM the kids and youth will have their breakout sessions. Adults will have their own breakout session with IT expert, Kenneth Dildy.
Have you ever wanted the most up-to-date information for a member? Or a directory on your phone? Or give to the church with click of a button? Guess what? YOU CAN! Adults will venture in the capabilities of REALM! What is "Realm"? Realm is our church database and is capable of providing so much beyond our usage. If you haven't registered on Realm, or downloaded the APP on your phone and want to know more, Kenneth will be helping and sharing in all of those areas! Join us! |
Sunday, May 8 | 10AM Worship
We welcome Rev. Mary Williams with us!
11:11AM Small Group to Resume May 8
Join us if you have the book AND if you don't! Just come for fellowship and thoughtful discussion with brothers and sisters in Christ! This group meets in an upstairs room in the Education Building called, 'The Wenger Room'.
Not sure where it is? Not to worry!
After worship, come to the next building over (The Education Building). As you enter in the front doors, walk straight ahead and go up the stairs. Once you are at the top, you are bound to hear the lively voices filling the room!
Problems in the church are nothing new; the book of Acts is full of them. In We Are the Church..., Pevey offers encouragement that today's church can truly be a transformative presence in the world, just as the early church was in the book of Acts.
While some feel the church is a social club with little impact on the world, that very idea runs contrary to God's plan. In We Are the Church... Let's Act Like It, Pastor Linda Tower Pevey offers churches practical and biblical ways to live out their mandate to make disciples and make a positive impact on their community and the world.
We Are the Church... takes readers through a 7-week Bible study of the book of Acts, looking at what it means to be the world-changing church that Jesus Christ intended. The study guides readers through weekly topics that empower them to take action -- Act with . . . Power, Generosity, Acceptance, Creativity, Perseverance, Courage, and Witness.
Energize your entire congregation by using We Are The Church... as a churchwide small-group study. A built-in Leader's Guide makes it easy to lead this book in a small-group or Bible-study setting. The book is also suitable for individual use. Expect to see your church energized and renewed by We Are The Church ... Let's Act Like It!
