Women's Ministry Spring Retreat, A Heart of Gratitude; A Life of Grace - May 16-18, 2014 Lake Lawn Resort, Delavan, WI

Come experience a time of refreshment and spiritual renewal as we cultivate hearts of gratitude by experiencing the Grace of the Father. We will be inspired by the teaching of Rhea Briscoe that will include times of introspective reflection. You will be renewed from the inside out by a personal touch from the Father. We are extending registration through this Sunday, April 13. If you have been contemplating attending now is the time to decide to go.

Adult Ministry

Iron Men

Iron Men: The Heart of a Warrior - Saturday April 12th, 7am, MPR

The Bible says, "The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name" (Exodus 15:3). If we are made in God's image, what does this say about who we are? Who are the enemies? And how do we fight? Learn more on April 12 at Iron Men. 

  

Journey 2nd Hour: Letters from Prison - Sunday's, 10:45am, Fellowship Hall

Continuing to the 2nd book of the Apostle Paul's Prison Series, the book of Colossians, despite being written nearly 2,000 years ago, is stunningly relevant today. With its warnings against following false philosophies, worshiping angels, and becoming mired in legalism when compared to our modern world, where we are bombarded with false teachings including worshiping different things and doing good works to earn salvation instead of the true Grace as provided by God to us. Join us for this interesting reading and application time each Sunday morning.
