Beyond The Walls

Have you signed up for the LOVE WEEK 5K yet? If not you sure should! This annual race meanders through our beautiful city, it is a little challenging and always a fun time. Come support BTW along with the Fruitland Park recreation department! Sign up today to guarantee your t-shirt and finisher medal! 



2017 is off to an amazing start! Beyond The Walls had a wonderful 2016, nonetheless we are looking forward to an even better year this year! Last year we were able to serve over 260 families on a monthly basis and distribute over 60,000 pounds of food! While the food is great, the impact in the lives of the neighbors it what matters most. We have seen so many neighbors reach out to us with their prayer requests and concerns and we are able to pray with them and encourage them has been a huge blessing. 

This year we are excited to be able to start a weekly Bible study with our neighbors who might be interested. We are really excited to be able to share Christ in a Bible study and we know it will make a huge impact in our community. 
 
Thank you all again for what you do for our pantry. Thank you to our volunteers, donors, and prayer partners, you truly are the heart of our ministry and we could not do it without you!

Tree House Kids

LOVE    LOVE   LOVE    It's all about  LOVE in February!  

This month in the Treehouse, we want each of our Treehouse Kids to hear about the greatest LOVE of all...the LOVE of Jesus.  The LOVE we feel from Jesus is even better than getting a big box of chocolate.  And it lasts forever!

Once our kids understand the unfailing LOVE of Jesus, they will want to show that LOVE to others.  February provides so many ways for your kids to show love - candy hearts, Valentines, every thing chocolate, stuffed animals.   

Let's partner together to make the most of this month-long opportunity to teach our kiddos about the LOVE of Jesus and how to even give a Valentine the way Jesus would.    

May your family have a LOVE-ly February!!

Sharon 

P. S.  Learning the memory verse together as a family will give the whole reason for LOVE-ing others!! 


Pastor Sidney Brock

Our new series for February is called "INSIDE/ OUT"

"If we were vunerable enough to take an honest look at what is going on inside of us, maybe we would experience a revelation that would become a catalyst for real change".  

C ome join us during the month of February for our teaching series during our Sunday morning Heritage gatherings at 10:30 a.m.

We love you, 
Pastor Sid
