Combining a Wesleyan understanding of our growth in God s love and grace with the time-tested practices of spiritual discipline as expressed in the membership vows to uphold the church with our presence, prayers, gifts, service, and witness, participants will discover the difference it makes to live out their commitment to Christ. Come explore what it means to walk as a disciple of Jesus. Participants will discover that being a disciple means loving God and loving others, and they will be equipped to do that by discovering their unique gifts and becoming engaged in ministry that also brings transformation in their own hearts and lives through the love and grace of Jesus Christ.

We re down to the home stretch now and we encourage everyone to keep giving all they can so we can reach our goal. 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill, and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? 17 So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, You have faith and I have works. Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. Large donation jars are located in the Narthex each Sunday. Questions? See Ken Quick for more information. The Outreach Center needs the following food items: - Spaghetti/Pasta Sauce - Canned Vegetables: specifically corn, beets, and mixed vegetables. - Mac & Cheese - Oatmeal - Chef Boyardee Canned Meals Please leave donations at the Church anytime or the Outreach Center on Wednesday s from 9AM - 11AM or Saturday mornings.
