CHURCH BUSINESS
Our New Year's Resolution is to read through the New Testament.
We will be reading 5 chapters a week," starting with Acts, which will give us a "real time/chronological" perspective. A schedule and study guide have been prepared to help us out and keep us on track. Here are the links to download your own copy, or you can pick up hard copies at the Get Connected desk -
or get them weekly in the bulletin on Sunday, or Friday bulletin email link.


(last week the printer version was attached, this week the reader version which is easier to read)
"Have you ever had trouble seeing? I have." says Pastor Matt. "One time I put my contact lenses in the wrong eyes. This happens in so many areas of our life: We get our lenses switched. We get fuzzy about who we are, what we’re called to do, and what we really need to focus on. Clear Vision is our message series designed for anyone who wants to get their lenses in the right eyes as they begin the new year."
