THOUGHTS FROM BRAD
As you know, we concluded our sermon series onthe Great Commission. As a follow up to thisseries, I will offer a class beginning on March 9 thinthe fellowship hall to better equip you for sharingyour faith. Whether you are young in the faith or aseasoned Christian, this practical elective will helpyou become more confident in fulfilling Gods call
on your life.
Who can attend? Any who have interest, whetheryou have a Sunday School class or not. You areasked to commit to all six weeks of instruction. Ifyou have questions regarding this study, contactme at 740.550.9882. I hope you can join us.
Those who signed up for our special Valentinedinner for February 15th will receive a call fromJosh Czich concerning the evening if you haventalready. He will inform you of the mealarrangements and assign you a time which bestsuits your evening plans. Thank you forparticipating.
We still have a need for housing for a few studentsfrom KCU on the night of February 22nd. They willarrive Saturday night and their meal will be takencare of by the church that evening. You will simplyprovide Saturday night lodging, and a continental-style breakfast on Sunday. You would need to dropthem off at the church on Sunday morning at the
appropriate time.
Sunday February 23rd, Elevate from KentuckyChristian University will lead us in worship. Thiswould be a great outreach opportunity to invitesomeone you may know who needs the Lord, orwho may be searching for a church.
I leave you with this Scripture: But you are achosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy
nation, a people belonging to God, that youmay declare the praises of Him who calledyou out of darkness into His wonderful light(1 Pt. 2:9). Next Sunday I will preach on thisScripture. I encourage you to memorize thispassage and read it each day in preparation for themessage and ask Gods Spirit to help you better
understand who you are in Christ Jesus.
In His Service,
Brad
