 CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP INSTITUTE
March 12 - May 20, 2011
BECOMING A SUPERLATIVE CHRISTIAN: God's Not Finished With Me Yet! I'm not saying that I have this all together; that I have it made. But I am well on my way; reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where god is beckoning us onward - to Jesus. I'm off and running and I'm not turning back. Philippians 3:13-14 (The Message). You may Download the Course Guide, Download the Registration Form, or register online.

| Family Matters | |
Dear Pastor Hicks,
There are no words to convey my gratitude to you, the Diaconate and my Metropolitan Family, for your love and support during my illness and recovery over the last year. Even now my fellow Servants take extra care to make sure I have transportation to worship. I am never without a hug or a welcoming handshake. Knowing others truly care for you really is a gift from God. My life is full and blessed because of my Metropolitan Family; I thank God for you.
God bless you always,
Servant Harry Thompson
