New Series Begins Oct 12
Understanding the Unexplainable
Jesus performed some 47 miracles while on earth. These miracles demonstrated His ability to heal, to master the natural world, and even to raise the dead. They occurred outside the bounds of natural laws and defy human explanation. Yet all of them had a beneficial result and are recorded in the Bible in such a way that we can read and understand their meanings. This 4-part series will examine four of Jesus' miracles recorded in the Gospel of John. Join us in Understanding the Unexplainable.
Oct 12:Water to Wine (John 2:1-11)

Oct 26: Hunger to Fullness (John 6:1-14)
Nov 2: Death to Life (John 11:1-44) |

We are excited to welcome Strider, Shannon and Asher Stokes to the MissionWay family. Strider will be the volunteer coordinator for MissionWay's Student Ministry and Shannon will be working in our Preschool Ministry. Strider is the area director for the northern St. Johns Young Life program through which caring adults invest time with young people to build friendships and help them consider the direction of their lives. Strider enjoys playing ultimate Frisbee, cheering for Carolina Tar Heels basketball and talking like a pirate. Shannon teaches exceptional students at Kernan Middle School and loves to scrapbook, read and add to her extensive collection of garden gnomes. Asher is 7 months old and already has eight girlfriends. Strider and Shannon are excited about joining in the work God is doing at MissionWay.
