Living the Vision
A new small group is engaged in a six week study to strengthen the personal faith of each member, develop a vision for our church, and focus upon service to the community. We hope to use this study group to branch out and involve many more people in the search for spiritual growth, friendship, and outreach. Please pray for group leaders Kurt and Jennie Bryan, Sandra Griffith, and Rita Wissinger.

“A Case for Easter” Study Offered in March
Adult Education Class ~ 6:30 Wednesday Evenings (via Zoom), March 3, 10, and 17. If you want to learn more about the core issues of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, join us for our Lenten class, A Case for Easter. Lee Strobel, an investigative journalist, examines the medical “evidence” of Jesus’ death, the “evidence” of the missing body and the “evidence” of appearances of Jesus after his death.
Strobel interviewed many medical and biblical experts and began this study as an atheist and ended as a devoted Christian! A Study Guide will be provided for you in the Church Office. Please call Ilona in the office (457-6811, M – Th 9:00-2:00) to sign up. Facilitators: Kate de Barros and Jim Kessel.
