The Lenten Church Wide Study for 2012 will be The Prayer of Jabez : Breaking Through to the Blessed Life by Dr. Bruce Wilkinson. During the 40 days of Lent leading up to Holy Week and Easter we will be focusing on this very simple prayer that contains the key to a life of extraordinary favor with God. The book embarks upon a seven chapter exploration of each part of Jabez’s prayer found in 1 Chronicles 4:10. I am encouraging you, as we seek to move from membership to discipleship, to participate in a small group study during this season of Lent. If you cannot participate in one of the small group studies offered at the church do the study with your spouse or family. You can pick up a copy of the book at Amazon.com or at your local Christian Bookstore. We will also have books available for purchase in the CLC starting next Sunday. You can register next Sunday for one of several small groups that will be leading this study. Pastor R. Jeremiah Booker

CONFIRMATION 2012...It's Going To Be A Blast!
What Is Confirmation? It is a special time when youth in grades 6th - 9th will learn about and experience the Christian faith at a level that is relevant and engaging. Youth will learn about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Bible, Christian roots, and how to be a committed Disciple of Christ. Youth will have mission oriented service projects, field trips, youth retreat and weekly classes held on Sunday at 9:45 a.m. in room 206 starting Feb - May 2012. Confirmation orientation is scheduled for Saturday, Feb 4th. We need mentors, facilitators and volunteers. You can sign up today, Jan 29th in the CLC after each service. Let's get ready for a great spiritual journey!
