The Weekly -April 28th-May 4th
This Past Week…
John's readers wanted assurance, so he writes to remind them of what Jesus' death and resurrection have achieved, who they are as a result, and why they need not fear. Our prayer is that you find the same certainty after studying this letter, written ‚ "that you may know that you have eternal life" (1 John 5:13).
Application Questions:
What stage of spiritual growth do I currently see myself in? What steps can I take to grow deeper in my faith and knowledge of God?
In what ways might I be loving the things of this world more than God? How do I need Jesus to reorder my love?
What desires of the flesh, eyes, or life pride am I most susceptible to? How can I resist these temptations by focusing on God’s truth and promises?
How does the reality that 'the world is passing away along with its desires' (1 John 2:17) affect my daily decisions and priorities?

MAY:
Foster Care Awareness Month
Every year in May, we take time to raise awareness of issues related to foster care and acknowledge the parents, family members, foster parents, child welfare and related professionals, and other members of the community who help children and youth in foster care find permanent homes and connections.
All month long we will be collecting diapers and wipes for our county. Please drop off items in the Fellowship Hall.

Kids Moment
NEW CURRICULUM!
NEW CURRICULUM!
We will be switching our Mission Kid’s curriculum to The Gospel project.
Every week, kids will experience the good news of the gospel through a Bible study that is:
Christ Centered: It’s all about Jesus, and every story points back to Him.
Heart Transforming: This study is designed to encourage true transformation that comes only from the gospel, not from behavior modification.
Age Aligned: Each week, every participant—from preschoolers to adults—can study from the same section of Scripture.
Chronological: All age levels study the narrative of the Bible in order, from Genesis to Revelation.
Theologically Rich: All studies are presented in an age-aware manner, and every session is doctrinally sound and thorough.
Missionally Minded: Every session calls participants to respond by sharing and living out the gospel.
Upcoming

Join a Group!
We are launching Discipleship Groups.
A disciple is someone who follows Jesus by being with him, becoming like him and doing as He did as they bring others to Jesus.
Discipleship Groups consist of 2-4 people (same gender) meeting to read the Bible together, pray with one another and hold each other accountable in their faith.
This is all part of what it looks like to set our hearts and minds on Jesus!
If you are interested in more information about these groups or would like to join one, please email Brad Wilcox, or Becca Wilcox or Lynette Ebel.
