Small Group Book Study

Evangelism: How the Whole Church Speaks of Jesus by Mack Stiles

Thursdays, September 25th - October 30th, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. | Stewart Lounge

Every few years, churches jump into the latest evangelistic fad. Leaders administrate the new program, and members go on a raid. But picture a church where evangelism is simply part of the culture. Leaders share their faith consistently and openly. Members follow, encouraging one another to make evangelism an ongoing way of life.

Such is the way of evangelism presented in this brief and compelling book. No program here. Instead, it just might give your church a new way to live and share the gospel together.

We invite you to join Marco and Lalo Garcia in a six-week book study on Thursday nights starting September 25^th. If you’d like to attend, just drop them an email at one of the addresses below. The book is free and will be provided at the first meeting.

Leaders: Marco and Lalo Garcia

Marco Garcia: marcogarcia716@gmail.com

Lalo Garcia: lalo_gar@yahoo.com

Book of the Week

The Friends and the Traveler

by Sam Brewster & Hannah Green

“The friends set off, the traveller walking with them on the way. They walked and talked and talked and walked throughout the ebbing day.” Winding along the road to Emmaus, two friends meet a traveller who opens their eyes to a life-changing discovery. Join them on the road as the joy of the first Easter dawns.

Children's Ministries Book List

Assistive Listening System Available in Sanctuary

We offer an Assistive Listening System in the Sanctuary for those that have mild to moderate hearing loss. These small devices will provide direct audio during the entire worship service and will allow you to adjust the volume to meet your individual needs. You must sit in the main center section of the sanctuary to use the system. The system is not available in the North or South chapels.

If you would like to take advantage of this new system, please stop by the sound booth.

Sign up to provide flowers on Sunday morning! Arrangements cost $45; Fanny’s Flowers will deliver them to the church before the Worship Service.

The arrangement is yours to take home after the service.
