PREPARING FOR SUNDAY
"I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me."
Psalm 30
"The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. Those who accept His offer of salvation are set free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness, and loneliness. With Christ joy is constantly born anew."

Sessions Continue in May
Join members of Christ Church, Ithan, and St. Martin's as we continue to explore the parallel Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The next Bible Study will be Wednesday, May 8th, at 7 p.m. at Christ Church in Ithan Hall. Newcomers are welcome! Each Wednesday night session stands alone as we compare the same story told by each of the different Gospel writers. This approach provides us with a fresh perspective on the stories of Jesus' life, ministry, and teaching. Copies of the book
"Records of the Life of Jesus" are available for anyone to use. We'd love to have your voice in our spirited and spiritual conversation. We will continue having the Bible discussions at Christ Church for the month of May, before switching back to St. Martin's for the month of June.
