We will have a free hot chocolate truck, carolers, and a Christmas tree. Plus you’ll get to see characters from the Christmas story, including, of course, Mary, Joseph and their baby Jesus in the manger, where you can offer your gifts in the form of pillows or bedding for the Bed Start ministry. Come by the 17 acres from 6pm to 7pm on December 12 to safely celebrate and make memories with your family! |

CURRICULUM RECOMMENDATIONS |
|
In Altar Ego, author Craig Groeschel shows individuals and small groups how to abandon self-worth based on accomplishments and possessions, turning instead to the eyes of God to define them. Participants will learn to expose false labels and selfish motives as the roadblocks they are, going instead to the altar of God’s truth and pursuing the higher values he sets above the world.
|
|
Intended for use alongside the Conformed to His Image textbook by Ken Boa, the Conformed to His Image Study Guide is a practical tool to help readers grapple with these important questions and guide them toward spiritual growth. Designed for use in college and seminary courses, church settings, or for independent learners, this study guide helps readers build their lives on a fully biblical perspective by carefully walking them through questions to help them explore and internalize the twelve facets of authentic Christian spirituality. |
