"Understanding Heaven and Hell"
Through May 19th
Led by Pastor Eibel
What happens when we die? If God is merciful, why is there a hell? What will heaven and hell be like? These and other questions will be explored in this biblical examination of the doctrines of heaven and hell.
The Word of The Lord, Seeing Jesus in the Prophets by Nancy Guthrie.
Thursday Evenings 6:45-8:30 PM
Through this 10 Week Study we will explore a fresh perspective on the message of the Old Testament prophets and a broader understanding of Jesus as the fulfillment of Scripture. Study Guides are $14.50.
For more information, contact Brenda Klingbeil at 817-691-9959.

Human Trafficking Awareness Event
For those who missed the presentation here at Living Word on March 3 by Carrie Gurley, CEO and Founder of our mission partner Valiant Hearts, here is a short video where Carrie presents similar information regarding human trafficking in our area and what we can do about it.
Food Packing Event
Join us Saturday, March 30, at 9:30 AM in the Family Life Center to assemble 20,000 meals in less than 2 hours. This food is sent to hungry children around the world. There is no cost to participants. We need 100 people. Come early if you can help us set up. Doors open at 8:00 AM. Bring a friend, neighbor or co-worker.
"Go Bags"
Our mission partner, Valiant Hearts, is a ministry dedicated to eradicating sex trafficking. Now we have the opportunity for a hands-on project. When women escape from being trafficked, they often have few personal belongings, and sometimes escape with nothing. We will be putting together "Go-Bags", a backpack or tote bag filled with necessities and comfort items to get these women through the first few days after their escape. You could help in two ways: (1) Please pick up one or more cards, listing items needed for these bags, from the table in narthex. Items should be returned by March 31. (2) Plan to stay after late service on March 31 to put together the bags. If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Falkenberg, 817-307-1117, or Melinda Mitford,
214-546-4625.
