New Women’s class starts November 4

Do you feel that the ability to hear God’s voice is for other people and not for you? Is it only for people who lived in Biblical times?
Not at all! The God who loved you enough to die for you loves you enough to talk to you. And wherever you are in your spiritual walk, God will find a way to speak to you in a way you will understand.

We will be starting a new Ladies’ Sunday School class on November 4 entitled “The Voice of God:  How to Recognize When God is Speaking” by Priscilla Shirer.  There is a sign-up sheet in the foyer.

Thursday, November 30, 2017 is the day Mosaic Ministries is hosting a silent auction and banquet in support of the needs of children in South Toledo.  Since 2007, their goal has been to use the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the priority of education to attack poverty in this historic residential community.

This free event will start at 5:30pm at Parkway Place, Maumee and include a silent auction, dinner, and a chance to hear Bob Lupton, a Christian community developer, entrepreneur and author, whose life’s work has been the rebuilding of urban neighborhoods where families can flourish and children can grow into healthy adults.

The goals this year are to provide for the cost of hosting a thriving preschool in our building and providing for the operating needs of the overall ministry.

New Sermon Series

The current sermon series will present the findings of the Prayer and Bible Study Groups associated to the most important “gaps” between what the Bible describes a church should be and where we currently are as a church.  On June 24, Scott Bernhard summarized the gaps associated with “Outward” functions: Evangelism & Missions.  Over the next 3 weeks we will present the most significant gaps and related Scriptures associated with Inward (July 9 – Care for All/Fellowship), Forward (July 16 – Discipleship/Teaching) and Upward (July 30 – Prayer/Worship).  The intent is to focus our attention on those Scriptures that will inform and inspire our next steps of growth as a church.

Men’s Breakfast and Bible Study

A new Men’s Breakfast and Bible Study will be meeting in the basement of the church starting at 7:30am every month on the first and third Saturday.    We are going to be studying through the book of Philippians.  The first meeting will be on Saturday, May 6 and is an introduction, overview and discussion of Philippians overall.  You are asked to read all four chapters of Philippians as an overview before attending the first meeting.  The goal is to have a different person be prepared to provide a 20-minute nugget on the portion of the Scripture for the week followed by about 40 minutes of discussion.  There will also be breakfast and a time of prayer.  Any questions, see Tom Borck.
