God is good all the time.
■ Intercessory prayer group meets each Wednesday at 9 a.m. in the chapel.
“The purpose of prayer
is not to conform God
to our will but to adjust
our will to God. We must
learn to trust God so that
if He says ‘no,’ we accept
that His will is best.”
— From Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby

| ►‘Snacks with Susan and Daryl’ discussion class | |
Sundays from 9 to 9:45 a.m. in annex room 4
Join us for Snacks with Susan and Daryl as the Robertson men of the hit television show “Duck Dynasty®” tell stories and discuss some of the Bible’s most-loved parables. In this five-session video-based small-group Bible study, we are going to look at faith-based values and how to apply them to your life. Let’s explore this together.
Sessions:
• Redonkulous Faith
• Radical Forgiveness
• Ravenous Prayer
• Real Obedience
• Rowdy Kindness
Join us for Snacks with Susan and Daryl every Sunday morning at 9 in annex room 4 for a bite to eat and some thought-provoking conversation.
| ►Adult Bible study class, led by Bill and Catherine | |
Sundays from 9 to 9:45 a.m. in annex room 2
We will continue our study in Leviticus, chapters 9 and 10.
Leviticus contains commandments given to Moses by God at the foot of Mount Sinai over about a one-month period just prior to the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land.
Leviticus contains instructions for worship and personal holiness. Although the New Testament (the New Covenant) abrogates Old Testament ceremonial law, the Levitical priesthood, and the sanctuary, the Book of Leviticus offers us greater insight into the nature of God and how He wants us to relate to Him.
If you are new to the class, don’t worry about missing previous lessons. As in the rest of the Bible, each verse is almost a lesson in itself. Visitors and new class members are always welcome. We have coffee brewed and take turns bringing pastries.
The class meets in annex room 2 on Sundays at 9 a.m. We look forward to seeing you.
