Discipleship Opportunities
9:30 AM Beginning this Sunday (April 8), the 9:30 Discipleship Class will be studying a book and video series entitles "True Spirituality - Becoming a Roman's 12 Christian" by Chip Ingram, senior pastor of Venture Christian Church in Los Gatos, CA. Several groups (women, Sunday School, etc.) have enjoyed and been challenged by the previous series by Chip Ingram.
"In Romans 12 God gives us a clear picture of what Christians should look like at the root level. If you're ready to move from "in" to "all in" , then you're ready to become a Romans 12 Christian. The next step of your spiritual journey starts here."
Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church and author of "The Purpose Driven Life" says "True Spirituality" clearly identifies God's timeless path for spiritual growth. It's amazingly relevant and applicable across the full spectrum or one's spiritual pilgrimage."
11 AM Ross Anderson and Nathaniel Lyle will teach a series on the Gospel of Luke.

Come to "An Evening of Blessing" on Wednesday evening, April 25, for dinner and the program or for just the program which will begin at 6:30 PM.
Through a short dramatic presentation Susan Herring will share Adriana's devastating experience and the hope given to her and her family and other families through the gift of SOLAR PUFFS (portable solar lanterns) and water purification. Christ brought light and hope into the darkness of Puerto Rico through people who cared.
"An Evening of Blessing" is an evening remembering and honoring our beloved Vera Prior, who had a heart for the ministry of Widow"s Mite Experience.
