Invitation to John DVD Bible Study: John has a unique way of introducing us to Jesus. He invites each of us to take heed of the

the Son of God. Prayerfully consider
joining us for this short term Disciple Bible Study. It will run 12 Wednesday nights from 7-9 pm
to study the entire gospel of John. We
will take 3 nights off during the study to accommodate the church calendar, so
please accept this Invitation to John. The sign-up sheet is in the

New Sunday School Study: All of us will experience suffering. Suffering
and evil beg questions about God - Why would an all-good and all-powerful God create a world full of evil and suffering? Some people
ask how there can be a God if evil and suffering exist. These are ancient
questions, but also modern ones as well, which will be dealt with in a new
series beginning this month in the MAY class. The series
is entitled, "If God is Good (Faith in the Midst of Suffering and
Evil)" utilizing Randy Alcorn's latest book, If God is Good.
The MAY class will delve deeply into this subject through compelling stories,
provocative questions and answers, and keen biblical understanding. We
invite anyone who feels they would benefit from this class to join us in the Walston room.
Next Gospel Concert: Saturday, Feb. 13th, 7 pm, featuring “Salt
Marsh Bluegrass Band” and “The Master’s Messengers”. A love offering will be collected and
refreshments will be available.
