Through HAH International we will have the chance to share our culture, our family, and our faith with students from all over the world without leaving home.

Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival On Saturday, September 30, we will be holding our third annual Mid-Autumn Festival. This holiday is celebrated in many Southeast Asian countries and is similar to our Thanksgiving. Please begin praying for this wonderful outreach opportunity, that God would be preparing the hearts and minds of our community to hear the Gospel presentation and that He would use us for His honor and glory. Book of the Month The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus explains the greatest of Bible themes clearly and logically. Rather than focusing on one part and missing the whole the author chronologically binds together the entire text into one great universal drama, looking at events from the perspective of those who experienced history in the making. The results are sometimes comical, sometimes frightening but always true to the intent of the text. When you are done reading it, you may find yourself believing the Book like you never have before. Look for your copy in the TBC Bookstore today! Memorizing God's Word in 2017! My God, My Light Week Thirty-three: John 8:12 (NKJV) Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.

4 Care & Share Group Lesson Welcome Week of August 13, 2017 If you have ever gone camping, share a fun or interesting story that happened. Worship Psalm 31:1-5. Rejoice in God your Savior. Give Him all praise and glory! Share the burdens of those in your group. Take these moments to pray for the needs of the ones around you. Word Read Psalm 31:1-5. What is the source of David s confidence in his struggles? Why can David have this confidence? How can you have this same kind of confidence in God? Read Psalm 31:6-8. How does David describe his emotions of confidence in God? Why is David so ready to trust completely in God? How would you help a hurting person to apply these principles? Read Psalm 31: What is David s resolution for this dilemma of his enemies attacks? Why does David s love for God satisfy the hurt inflicted by those who hate him? How does your love for God help you to rightly respond to those who hate Him and you? Witness Remember to keep those around you in prayer. Keep your ears open for those hurting so you can speak truth and grace into their lives. Never forget that many need to understand the love of God and how it flows to them through you.
