Survival: Man vs. World
Overcome life's toughest challenges ...
Facing the challenges of life can be difficult and at times seem overwhelming. If we are not careful, these challenges can destroy commitment, diminish hope and leave us struggling for contentment. How do we survive in such an uncertain and difficult world? Man vs. World will explore the basic survival techniques needed to live in the midst of challenge and difficulty.

This Week @ MWay: I Am Not Alone
Christ followers are not exempt from the challenges and difficulties of life. Instead, God uses hard times to strengthen character, deepen our faith, and teach about His nature. Join us Sunday as we gain strength from knowing we are not alone in facing life's most difficult challenges. | |

Thanks for coming to be a part of this big change. We are excited to have nearly 100 people now serving on Sunday mornings.
If you are a part of one of our Sunday morning teams, don't forget the new volunteer schedule and make note of whether you serve on Team A or Team B (ask your team leader if you aren't sure). This Sunday, April 19, will be Team B's day to serve.

 We are excited to announce our September 2009 Ethiopia Team that will be going on a volunteer trip to Addis Ababa in September: Shannon Palmer, Jenna Erickson, Jonnelle Davis, Devon Scheible, Jill O'Brien, Sarah Morris, and Matt and Jamie Wilbanks. The group will serve at Destiny Academy, an elementary school that MissionWay is already partnering with so that more children can receive an education and hear about God's love. The team also will participate in a gospel distribution project that corresponds with the Ethiopian New Year. Please join us in praying for the team as they begin preparing for the trip. To learn more about going or giving, contact Jamie. |
