WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY

Wednesday Morning Bible Study starts back up on September 3rd at 9:30 am in Room 2-R.  Our first book of the fall session is I Believe in Jesus by Minerva Carcano.  This study, led by Pastor Maria, renews the reader’s minds and hearts to the gift of faith in Jesus Christ and answers probing questions such as, “Whose faith counts?”  This book also counts for the UMW Reading Program, in addition to offering the engaging and inspirational writing of Bishop Carcano.  Each book costs $8.00 and will be available in the church office.  Childcare will be provided.

 Women of any age with this hour available are invited to join us in our study, in prayer concerns for our church family, and in the friendships that move us across age barriers and establish connections that give us a sense of “belonging”.

SHORT-TERM STUDY

Each Wednesday night in October at 6:45 pm in Room 2-R, we will offer discussion on Tony Campolo’s new book Red Letter Christians:  a citizen’s guide to faith and politics.  This book examines many of the hot-button issues facing our country from the perspective of Jesus and the red-letter words in the Bible.  These topics include the environment, war, AIDS crisis, Palestine, education, gun control, the role of government and choosing the right kind of candidate.  No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, Campolo will make you think, pray and act.

SERVICE OF HEALING AND WHOLENESS

Starting on Wednesday, September 10th, each week at 6:00 pm in the Sanctuary there will be a Service of Healing and Wholeness.  Pastor Maria and guitarist Kevin Moree will offer an atmosphere of openness and invitation to God’s grace through praise, prayer and healing.  We are so grateful for Kevin and his willingness to share his gifts of voice, music and songwriting.  We hope you will join us as we gather to offer prayers of healing for our hearts, the church and the world as we deepen our faith and walk with Christ.
