New Sermon Series beginning Sunday, February 19

Acts 29 Sermon Series The Story Continues. When you reach the end of the book of Acts in chapter 28, it is clear that the story is not finished. It is still being written two thousand years later by people around the world and close to home. The story continues as our Outreach Partners train local church leaders on 5 continents... as families care for refugees and children who need a home... as passionate intercessors pray for advance of God's Kingdom... and as many others collaborate in the ongoing story.

South Park Church has over 30 individuals, families, and agencies ministering full time from Park Ridge to Chicago to Asia-and they'll be coming back to share with us so we can better partner with them. Activities on Saturday March 10 will include a prayer breakfast, a time of elective teaching for adults on mission topics,a family learning event and a potluck dinner. On Sunday morning March 11 we will hear from Dave Anderson, our Partner with Lydia Home/Safe Families. Partners will also be in Iron Men, with our Youth, and in Journey Class that weekend. Come and be encouraged !  Sign-up for the Saturday events and dinner starting this Sunday at the Welcome Center.
