PRAYER & BIBLE STUDY

CONVERSATIONAL EVANGELISM

TRUE NORTH

6:15 pm | Fellowship Hall

6:15 pm | Room B232-233

Join us for Bible study and a time of prayer, led by Clyde Wright.

The purpose of this course is to help you make witnessing a way of life and teach you how to intentionally guide your conversations to a place where you can share the Gospel.

Navigating your way through today’s culture isn’t easy. And to do so successfully, you’ll need direction, encouragement, wisdom, and hope.

True North will help you discover your fixed point in the midst of a spinning world as you learn to H.E.A.R. from God and engage in interactive discussion around topics relevant to today’s men.

MOM TO MOM AT NIGHT Inside Out Parenting 6:15 pm | Room C126 We will take a look at what God's Word has to say about our mission as moms—and what that looks like for 21st-century moms. As we explore God's Word together, we will gain godly mom-confidence in a confused world, learn to create contagious Christian community amidst a chaotic culture, and grow in our ability to build Christ-like character in our children.

FAMILIES BY GRACE Mission 1:27 6:15 pm | B129 Mission 1:27 provides support and encouragement to those seeking to adopt or foster a child along with involvement in activities that impact orphans on a local and international level.

6:15 pm | Room B234

FOUNDATIONS

A Blueprint for Building a Relationship with God 6:15 pm | Room B128 In this 6-part study, we’ll explore the essential foundations for living a vibrant Christian life. Not only will it help you to know and walk closely with God, it will equip you to help others do the same…in your home, neighborhood, and workplace.

Foundations is a discipleship study open to anyone regardless of age or stage of life.

Classes for Students & Children See page twelve for details.

6:00 – 7:30 pm for Preschool and Elementary Childcare is provided for children birth through age two.

JONAH

Navigating a Life Interrupted 6:15 pm | Room B132-133 In this seven-session Bible study, redefine interruption and see that interruption is actually God's invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city.

Our Alaska Partnership

James and Jennifer Bodolosky, along with their family, have answered the call to be a part of God establishing His Name and His Church in Alaska. Our REACH teams serve alongside them in Eagle Creek Park.

Update from the Alaska Team

“During our visit to Alaska, the area was being ravaged by more than 70 wildfires. The landscape was obscured by haze and, at times, we could even smell the smoke. Although wildfires can be devastating to life and property, they are a part of nature, which serves a vital role in the ecosystem. Fires return nutrients to the ground, allowing certain seeds to germinate, and provide habitat conditions that are beneficial to wildlife. Over and over it has been demonstrated that fires will rage, despite intense human efforts, but one move of the Creator in the form of a sudden rainfall or wind shift can contain and even extinguish a wildfire.

On a smaller scale, our team encountered a few “wildfires” of our own throughout our week of ministry. Still, it was amazing to see God work to extinguish them, one by one. Early in the week, we encountered record high temperatures, but still the kids came to the park and we were able to share the Gospel and the love of Jesus with at least 20 different children.

At the end of the week, God moved in a major way during the Park Party in the Fairview community. During the presentation of the Gospel, there were multiple distractions, including bush planes flying overhead, wind blowing Bible pages around and children noisily coming and going. From a human perspective, the presentation did not go well. But it was during that time that the Holy Spirit spoke to a 5-year-old girl, and she gave her life to Jesus! It was a beautiful reminder that, “In their hearts human beings plan their lives. But the Lord decides where their steps will take them.” Proverbs 16:9.

September 8-15, 2019

is the Season of Prayer for State Missions and the Janie Chapman State Missions Offering.

In South Carolina missions, there are ministries which pave the way for people to hear the gospel. There are people who serve faithfully, paving the way for gospel opportunities. The Holy Spirit paves the way to prepare people to respond to the message of salvation. And you pave the way as you pray for state missions and as you give to the Janie Chapman Offering.

Thank you for supporting this mission, financially and through prayers. God is at work in Alaska, and it is a privilege to be a part of it!” – Alaska Mission Team

Our Boston Partnership

We work with Encounter Church and the families who have answered the call to go and plant a church among the unengaged, unreached, and least reached peoples of Westwood, MA. We come alongside them to prayer walk their specific community and to provide help in building relationships that will connect them to their neighborhood and connect their community with Christ.

Pray for the team serving in Boston September 26 - 30

Last year, 99% of participants told us they would recommend the program to other parents. The course is taught by a trained team with lived experience—they know what you're going through because they've been there.

The 6-session program provides strategies for taking care of your child and learning the ropes of recovery. Facilitated by: Jim and Glenda Hayes To learn more, visit www.nami.org/find-support/nami-programs/nami-basics.

Praying Circles Around Your Marriage

by Joel & Nina Schmidgall with Mark Batterson Dream big, pray hard, and think long – together. Marriage is your most sacred relationship on earth, and prayer is the single most powerful way to transform it. Honi the Circle Maker was a man bold enough to draw a circle in the sand and not leave it until God answered his impossible prayer. In this book, you’ll discover seven key prayer circles for your marriage. Honi's prayer saved a generation, and your prayers can transform your relationship.

Outbreak by Davis Bunn

Something sinister is happening in the waters off the coast of West Africa, trailing death in its wake. Theo and Avery saw the devastation with their own eyes, and they know the danger hasn’t passed – it has just changed locations. They must stay out of the crosshairs long enough to convince the powers that be of the toxic destruction about to be unleashed on American soil. Will their efforts prove too late?

Confidence. Community. Character. All part of our mission as moms.

All rooted in God’s Word for our world. All possible only by His grace.

Real Women. Real Joy Tuesday, September 10 6:30 pm | $15

Join us for dinner and a night of fun and laughter with Sylvia Harney!

A Biblically based parenting program designed around the Titus 2:4 concept of older women teaching and encouraging younger women in their relationships with their husbands and children. This series encourages mothers in their everyday mom jobs and provides perspective on some more specific parenting situations, such as raising strong-willed children, dealing with infertility, and addressing learning challenges. We recognize that being a mom can be exhausting and sometimes frustrating. During these sessions, we talk about being a mom in the real world!

Sylvia is a Christian speaker, entertainer, author, and comedienne and has shared the stage with Minnie Pearl, Roy Acuff, Barbara Mandrell, and others.

Her story will make us laugh, make us cry, and inspire us to find joy in every circumstance as we walk in the freedom of Christ. You do not want to miss this special evening – bring a friend!

“Just Open the Door” by Jen Schmidt Wednesdays, 9 am* | $14 | Begins 9/11 Hospitality is one of the best ways to live out the two greatest commandments: loving God with all your heart and loving your neighbor as yourself. But often we get caught up in perfecting our homes and conversations before we open our doors. Over seven sessions, we will look to Jesus as our model for hospitality. Discover how He lived a life full of interruptions, yet always welcomed people and invited them to follow Him. Learn to replace cultural expectations with biblical hospitality to create a legacy of invitation and reflect Jesus through simple acts of service.

“Jonah: Navigating a Life Interrupted” by Priscilla Shirer Wednesdays, 6:15 pm* | $15 | Begins 8/28 Wednesdays, 9 am* | $15 | Begins 9/11 In this 7-session Bible study, we will redefine interruption and see that interruption is actually God’s invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams.

The prayer you keep repeating? Jesus not only cares about this deep, spiritual wrestling, but He also wants to step in and see you through it. Join Lysa TerKeurst on the streets of Israel to explore the seven I AM statements of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. Through this interactive, in-depth study, we will be trading feelings of emptiness and depletion for the fullness of knowing who Jesus is like never before. *Childcare provided .
