Mark your calendars for March 14th for this family activity. Fun, food and fellowship begins at 6:00 p.m. Bring games, snacks and a 2-liter and be prepared for an enjoyable evening.

Wednesday Night Bible Study
 
What is ultimately God's final plan?  Are we nearly done or only getting started in the process we call history?  Will history as we know it ever end? On Wednesday evenings at 6:00 in the Pastor's Bible Study we will continue our discussion of God's purposes and plan in history.  Through this process, we will deal with many ideas and interpretive viewpoints about history, the church, and where we are "going" or better put, to what end He is working. As we consider these ideas, some in more detail than others, please know the likelihood that we will all agree on every point is very slim.  Yet, as brothers and sisters united in Christ we can engage in lively discussion and difference of opinion about the exact nature of how and when God will conclude His work.  This, I think, is healthy because we seldom think as deeply about something and why we believe certain things, than we do when we are called on to explain and defend them.  It's good for us, so come with an open heart and teachable spirit and as the Bible says "As iron sharpens iron, we will sharpen one another."  It is uncertain at this point just how long this study will last and what we move into next will be largely up to the class, so come have some input on what we study.
