Greetings from Pastor John
HI Church
This week we have a Joanna Gregg with us! She is an International Worker with Envision in Guinea West Africa. We had a team join her there this past January. She will be with us Saturday evening at the church for a dessert evening (plan on joining us!) and then will be with us all day Sunday. She will be sharing about her ministry in Africa, will be teaching the kids for kids church and then will be teaching the students in youth group that evening.
We also have Soup Sunday after service this week. Plan on sticking around with your family and enjoying a meal with the church! Ground Floor: Difficult Conversations will not meet this week. We will resume on October 27th and November 3rd.
We will be continuing on in the Sermon on the Mount. We will be in Matthew 7:7-11 this week talking about prayer and the heart of God as Father.
See You Sunday!
John

Family Discussion Starters:
The World is Against God - Ephesians 6
•Name each piece of armor Paul described. How does each piece help us stand strong against evil?
•Why is prayer an important part of our spiritual battle?
•How does knowing Jesus has victory over evil shape how we pray?
Because the world is opposed to God, we stand against the world’s evil systems, rejecting anything that is contrary to God’s truth and good design.
• HEAD: How can Christians use the Bible to learn and embody truth?
• HEART: What temptations of this world have you fallen for recently that you need to confess to the Lord?
• HANDS: How can you prepare to share the gospel more clearly and confidently?
