February 28 - “24 Hours that Changed the World” Sermon Series begins.  “The Last Supper”

“Jesus is believed to have died at the age of 33 after a life of approximately 12,000 days.  The Gospel writers devoted most of their work to just 1,100 of those days, the last three years of his life; and their primary interest was on in one particular day- the day he was crucified.  They believed this 24 hour period changed the world, and each of the Gospel drives toward it.”   ~ Adam Hamilton, author of 24 Hours that Changed the World.

 

The sermon series, which will be accompanied by a DVD visit to important and related sites in the Holy Land, will explore the significance of those critical hours- for Christians the most important hours in history!

May 8th.  “4:4 No More!”  Spring Fling.  Our annual spring fling and garage sale to benefit our ministry called “4:4 No More!  Water for the Poor!”  Through this ministry we provide funds as we partner with ministries who provide fresh water in the name of Christ to those who are destitute and powerless and in some of the poorest countries in the world.  Past ministry projects have included working with Food for the Poor to dig wells in Haiti and with Amigos for Christ to dig wells (and solar power a well) in Nicaragua.   A lot of stuff to buy!  And bouncy things to jump on!  Games and food too!
