Contact Sharon Renaud if you have any questions.
Wednesday night activities will begin on September 9. Kids4Christ and the two adult classes will be from 6:30-7:30pm. FOCUS will begin September 2; see elsewhere for more information. Sunday School will start on September 13 from 10:30-11:30. Christian Ed encourages you to plug yourself in to one or more of the areas listed. Just because we are adults doesn’t mean we stop learning about Jesus. And what an example to our kids and young people we will be by attending a class.
Glenn Lewis will lead/facilitate Everyday Revolutionary. This is a RightNow Media study on how to transcend the culture war and transform the world. Tired of being a pawn in the culture war? Feeling squeezed between political and theological extremes? How do we live faithfully when we don’t feel at home in this increasingly secular culture? Pastor and Bible teacher J.D. Greear calls us to reimagine our Christian witness in today’s world. In this practical and encouraging six-session series, discover biblical insights for witnessing well in our polarized, post-Christian world. This study will be in the Conference Room (12).
Cindy Norman will lead/facilitate Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman. This study will be around 6 sessions. We are hoping that shorter studies will make it easier for you to join and finish, even when life gets full. Kyle will challenge us by reminding us that Jesus calls us to be a follower, not a fan. We will plan on starting on September 9 and complete this study on October 14. Let Cindy Norman, know if you would like to have a follower’s journal or have any questions.
Kids4Christ will start their kickoff night with pizza, games and a devotion in the fellowship hall. We are still needing a teacher to lead the lesson each week or do the object lesson. We have a book that we used last year and will continue using that. We try to apply it to our everyday life so that kids can hear about and fall in love with Jesus. Also, we like to have a fun night once a month. We do games, a devotion and have some unstructured/structured time. If you would be willing to plan games, scavenger hunts or some other fun activities for those nights, please let Brenda know at 641-891-0437. Invites have gone out at area kids Pre-K-5th grade but if you know someone who doesn’t attend church or is new to the area, encourage them to attend, especially if they do not have a home church. Did you know that over half of the kids, and their families, attending Kids4Christ do not attend church on Sunday! This is a GREAT ministry that God has bless us with, let’s be good stewards of this ministry!
