CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP  is  about more  than  the  money  we  drop  into  the collection plate.   Stewardship  is everything we do after we say we believe. 

In  this  four‐session  study,  you  will  learn how  to  think  critically  and  biblically  about the  areas  of  responsibility  that  have  been entrusted to you by God. 

 

Session 1: Our talents and skills Session 2: Loving Our Neighbor Session 3: Church and Family Session 4: Finances and Giving

 Change Is Inevitable And Transitions Are Tough

In our  lives we have both  and  sometimes  it  is pretty  challenging  to 

navigate  the  rough waters of our  lives.   Once  in a while you need a 

place to go where things quiet down & slow down.  A place where you 

can give Jesus time & space to speak to your soul.  A place to have fun 

& even act a little goofy. 

Guess what… ReGroup is that place. Mark  your  calendar  and make  sure  you  are  able  to  join  us  for  the 

RIVER’S FALL RETREAT.    It will be a  time of Celebration, Service, and 

Solitude.  

Dates:  Friday, Sept. 30 – Sunday, Oct 2 

Cost:  $70

LIFE BOOK SATURATION WEEK OCTOBER 23-28, 2011

The Life Book engages searching middle school and high school students with the truth of God’s Word as they are introduced to Jesus Christ. Using an interactive format with honest student comments and real-life questions in the margins, readers are drawn into the only story that can change their lives forever. At Village, we are challenging our middle and high school students to hand out at least 25 copies of the Life Book to their peers, praying that God would use this as a tool for opportunities to share the gospel. Check out: www.thelifebook.com

LIFE BOOK RALLY

Sunday, October 23, 2011 On Sunday evening, October 23, from 6:30 – 8:30 PM at Harvest Baptist in Oswego, Dare 2 Share conference speaker, Zane Black, will challenge our students to go out and share the gospel. You don’t want your teen to miss this!
