God's Word ALIVE

Readings

John 3:16-17 ; 1 John 3:1-3

The season of Epiphany invites us to fully embrace the truth: God’s Word is alive!

As we seek, opportunities to memorize verses in the Bible, God’s Word will become alive for us and through us to others. As we commit God’s Word to memory weekly in singing a hymn based upon the selected verse(s) from God’s Word. The weekly service, along with e-Letter communications will give opportunity to commit the weekly scriptures to memory. Giving thanks for our ILC Mission, we will celebrate God’s Word Alive in us as we seek continue “Knowing and Sharing the Joy of Salvation through Jesus Christ.”

BEGINNING THIS WEEK

 LifeLight is a Bible study program that has three elements: personal Bible study, Pastor-led mini-lectures, and small group discussion. The small groups will be 8-10 people in size; guys will meet with guys and gals with gals. 

Are you interested in meeting people from the church in a casual setting?

In small groups take time to learn more about the people you see on Sundays.

Those interested should sign up below and you will be placed in a Dinner for 8 group that will meet 2-3 times, January thru March.

If you are interested in coordinating for your group (we call this a "host", but this does not mean that you have to host a meal at your home), please Click Here to contact Ken VanDongen.

Thanks so much...
