Faith Formation Ministry
In Christ Alone - Bible Study of Philippians
 Continuing in the Youth Room, this week we see how, as Christians, our identity is in Christ Alone. This Bible study is not only for youth who are attending the National Youth Gathering and their families, it is for all who wish to benefit from this study of Philippians and come to a fuller understanding of how our entire lives are found in Christ Alone.
One Family Bible Class
For the month of April, Seminarian Nate McCarty will be leading the adult Bible class in the Family Life Center. This week we examine Matthew 6 where through faith in Christ we learn that we do not have to worry or be anxious but can trust in our Lord in all things.
Stewardship Sentence
John 21:6 "He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish." Won't the disciples ever learn? Jesus had done something similar before: when the odds seemed completely against it, the Lord gave them a command to let down the nets, a command that seemed crazy. But they complied and He blessed their obedience. When we will learn this lesson, too?
Women's Evening Bible Study
The Thursday evening Bible study began a new study on February 18. The study guide is "God's Love Through You: A Guide to 1 John." All women are welcome; gathering together is a great opportunity to share prayer concerns and be strengthened by God's Work and by each other. Eighteen women currently are a part of this group; not all can attend every time and that is understood. We meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 7:00pm.
Women's Tuesday Morning Bible Study
Beginning Tuesday, February 23 at 9:15am we started a new seven week Bible study. Please consider joining us as we explore "Discerning the Voice of God" presented by Priscilla Shirer. Through this study you will become more familiar with God's Holy Spirit, His character, language, and tone of voice. Call Carol Froesel or Jeanne Clark if you have any questions.

Vision Task Force Survey Results
Results from the congregational vision survey will be presented immediately following the April 17 Sunday morning church service by the Vision Task Force. We all would be pleased to see you there.

We promise that you will find the results interesting and, we hope, helpful.
