SUNDAY EVENING LENTEN PROGRAM 2008
Sundays, March 9th & 16th
5:00PM – Covered Dish Supper
6:00PM – Praise/Hymn Sing & Lenten Program
Plan ahead and join us on the Sundays in Lent at 5:00pm for a potluck dinner. Following the dinner, we will have a time of singing praises/Hymns and two program options to choose from:
VIDEO STUDY – "So That the World May Know" - a series of Faith Lessons focused on the death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah.
*Topic for Sun. March 9th: The Weight of the World: In the Garden, Jesus faced directly the reality of what He was about to do – completely submit Himself to the will of God. The agony of those few hours should treat our souls as we discover in the imagery of Gethsemane that it was because of us that Jesus faced being forsaken by God.
BOOK STUDY on Forgiveness – "How Can I Forgive?" This study will look at forgiveness: what the Bible has to say on the subject, what stops us from forgiving others and how we can work to offer forgiveness, both as individuals and as a world.
There will be programs for Children & Youth.
Youth Program will be on "Prayer."
ALL ARE WELCOME! Bring a Friend!
BAPTISM & RECEPTION INTO MEMBERSHIP: Please remember in prayer, Gabriella Nicole Gonzalez, daughter of William & Jennifer Gonzalez, who will be baptized; and Jennifer Gonzalez, who will be received into membership this Sunday, March 9, 2008.
HEY KIDS! We will be making pretzels on Sunday, March 16th with Mr. Garry and Mrs. Doerbecker. Sorry for the date change; hope to see you there.
