“Journey Into Following Jesus”
Join us on Sunday mornings starting June 14th over the next several months as we begin “The Journey into Following Jesus”.
In this “journey,” you will get to know each of the twelve disciples and will discover one of them is much like you. By understanding that disciple you can better realize how God can use you to fulfill His purpose for your life. This study reveals how God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
Each Sunday, Pastor Richard will bring a message based on your “at home Sunday School Lesson” FREE workbooks are available. workbooks are available.

5 NEW Online Bible Studies
Gideon: your weakness. God’s strength is a 3 session Bible study by Priscilla Shirer.
When we hear the name Gideon, most of us think about his 300 soldiers or the fleece he laid out under the evening sky. But Gideon’s story is so much bigger than that-bigger than any one man and his mark on Israel’s history.

Missions Education: Dispatches from the Front
Pioneer missionary Samuel Zwemer wrote, “The kingdoms and governments of this world have frontiers that must not be crossed.” Then he added, “The Gospel of Jesus Christ knows no frontier. It never has been kept within bounds.” This border-crossing, boundless Gospel is the theme of Every Tribe.
The latest episode of the Dispatches from the Front series is set in Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos, where a patchwork of tribes lives – people groups long crushed by brutal dictators and enslaved to the worship of demons.
But the Gospel is setting prisoners free! From the killing fields of Cambodia to the remote corners of Laos, this is an “every tribe, every tongue” story of first-generation believers, who are now singing for joy over their deliverance, loving the Word, and crossing borders to share the Good News that “never has been kept within bounds.”

This month, we are celebrating Christmas in August with Samaritan’s purse. Hopefully, you’ve seen the Operation Christmas Child bulletin board in the hallway, but you should know that it is about more than just a shoebox. Each box represents a chance to change the life of a child. It is an opportunity for us to share the good news of Jesus in a way that is, quite frankly, easy.
The reason for the Christmas season is the gift of Jesus. God was so gracious in giving us that life-changing gift. Now, we are given the possibility of sharing that gift with children all around the world. If we don’t tell others about Christ, who will? If we aren’t the hands of feet of Christ, who is?
