Dear Ladies,
We are so looking forward to getting back to our Monday evenings with you all! We are especially excited about this new series by Beth Moore called “The Inheritance”. It will consist of nine sessions,all exploring the topic of our Inheritance throughout Gods Word.
Our first meeting will be Monday Sept 12th from 6:30-8pm-and will run through Monday Nov.7.
As in past series we’ve done,there will be a 30 minute dvd to watch followed by discussion and prayer. Unlike past series, there is no workbook, but each participant will be required to purchase a five dollar listening guide that will be available at our first meeting. So there is no homework! (but I am pretty sure Becky will come up with a thought provoking assignment for us to ponder for the following week:)
We encourage you to come and join us! lets discover together that:
“The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places:indeed,I have a beautiful inheritance” psalm 16:5-6.
Looking forward to seeing you all!
Love
Andrea and Becky

New Small Group RUN for God
July 19, 2011
Join Becca Neeley on Saturday Mornings beginning July 30 at 8:30AM in the Propel Room for a program suited to get you in shape for a 5K at the end of 12 WEEKS. The program is called “RUN for God” Cost of the book is $15. Contact Becca for more information: becca.poplin@gmail.com.
RUNFORGOD.COM
Run For God – The 5K Challenge is a practical guide to running and a 12-week training plan aimed at running a 5K, but with a Christian focus.
Although people run for many different reasons, this program is for those who make God the center of their lives—or need to be reminded to do so. The tone is conversational and accessible, and the workout plans, discussion questions, and Bible verses make it both a practical resource and a workbook for individuals and groups, especially beginning runners.
From advice about shoes and Christian music for one’s MP3 player, to tips on race etiquette, the book will be useful and inspirational.
The primary goal is to learn to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ while understanding the parallels of endurance running and enduring faith.
This course is for everyone! In fact, it is designed for those who have never run. However, if you wish to begin running for God, there is no better time to start than now.
Be ready for your first 5K road race in just 12 weeks, and learn how this sport relates to the practice of faith in process
The 5K Challenge is a practical guide to running and a 12-week training plan… with a Christian focus.
