The Word of God
Oct. 28-Nov. 25
The Word of God is the key to the life of a disciple of Jesus. The Word not only tells us the story of God’s great love for us, it is living and active. The Word transforms our mind to see things as they really are rather than the way the world wants us to see things. It was the Word of God that was the key to the Reformation that rocked the world. In this series we will explore the key to our freedom in Christ: the Word of God.
Nov. 10/11 Key to Truth
Nov. 17/18 Key for Peace
Nov. 24/25 Key to Wisdom

Made Matchless Event
Sat., Jan. 12, 9-3 PM, Registration is now open!
The average girl’s self-confidence peaks at age
nine.
This startling statement is the result of a
study
on children and self-esteem commissioned by the American Association of University Women and reported in the
New York Times.
The messages girls and women receive every day through marketing, television programs, and social media lead them us to the conclusion that this is where our real identity and value lie; and, it’s becoming harder to know what to believe. More than ever, it’s important to be equipped with the truth! Leah Tatina is here to help. She designed the Made Matchless curriculum as a class for elementary students, but is now offering the same teachings in a one-day workshop for moms and daughters.
Register online at
onrealm.org/immanuelbatavia/registrations
.
Cost is $30 per couple (mother and daughter, Grade 1-5), $5 for each additional daughter (Grade 1-5). Costs includes presentation, craft materials, and luncheon. Registration closes on Thu., Dec. 20, so don't delay! Questions? Contact Kari Larsen, Director of Family Ministry, at 630 879 7163 or
klarsen@immanuelbatavia.org

Sat., Jan. 19, 9-3 PM, Registration is now open!
