ITUALITUALITUALITUAL JJJJOURNEYOURNEYOURNEYOURNEY is the topic of this month’s spiritual formation class. You are welcome to join us for this session even if you have not attended previous meetings. With Pat Russell just returned from China, Pastor Bruce will lead our discussion

about our spiritual journeys: when we felt God’s presence, when God seemed distant; when we grew, when regressed; when we were wounded, when we experienced healing. Join us this Tuesday (Mar 18) 6-8 pm in the fellowship area.

If you, like Peter, want to step out in faith and experience more of the power and presence of God, join us in our study of John Ortberg's book If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat. Great video, great discussion. We meet at 7 am in the church office. BYO coffee. You're also invited to join us for breakfast after the class at Los Volcanes. For more information, contact Phil
