Participants will discover that when they experience God's touch, they will recognize six things: honor, intimacy, shelter, guidance, redemption, and refinement. And just like clay in the skilled hands of a potter, God's touch molds us and shapes us from glory to glory. Encouraging, practical, engaging, and challenging, this study communicates Jennifer's personal experience in receiving and giving the touch of God. *****************************************************EXPERIENCING GOD: Knowing and Doing the Will of Godby Henry & Richard BlackabySTARTING September 3, 2008God is inviting you to experience Him in an intimate love relationship through which He reveals to you His will.

Come join other seniors like you who want to remain as active as they can! The purpose of our Super Senior Ministry is to meet the spiritual needs of older adults through sharing the Gospel with them, and providing opportunities for spiritual growth, fellowship and ministry involvement. The ministry provides support, teaching and encouragement for those who share similar needs in this season of life. We offer several opportunities for you to connect through with others like you in a Life Group. Click here to find a group for you! SUPER SENIORS LUNCHEONS On the third Monday of every month, September through May, all seniors are invited to the Super Seniors Luncheon. These lunches are a great time of fellowship and outreach to senior adults in the church as well as the community. We meet in the Christian Life Center at 11:30 a.m., and are usually done by 1:00 p.m. after enjoying an entertaining or informational program. No need to RSVP - just come with a side dish or dessert to share with others, and a dollar or two to help with the cost of the meat and drinks. First time guests are just that, our guests. Please, don't feel obligated to bring a dish. 2008 Program Schedule September 15 - Dr. Keith Justice, Flagler Hospital October 20 - Renee Morris, Director of the St. Francis House November 17 - TBA December 15 - TBA GAME NIGHT Join us on the fourth Tuesday evening of each month for a relaxing time of playing games; Dominoes, Rummikub, and more!

Chuck Swindoll Ladies, Prayer is probably the most underused privilege we have. Jesus prayed, and He told us to pray. We have an email Prayer Ministry and would like you to join us in prayer whenever an urgent prayer need is brought to our attention. It does not involve any meetings, etc. Just your commitment to pray when you receive an email prayer request. It is usually when someone is ill or has an urgent need that needs to be prayed for. Please email me, Nancy Miller at nmiller163@cfl.rr.com and ask to be put on our POP list. Please be sure to include your name in your message. Thank you. We have had many answers to prayer and are expanding this ministry as The Lord leads. If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this message along. Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Prayer is the most powerful asset we have. 1 Chronicles 7:14: 'If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.'

We all have a number of projects going on from baby albums, vacation albums, wedding albums or just a little bit of them all. We usually have a few snacks to keep us going and everyone once and awhile go for a Starbucks run. In our devotions this year we will be learning about the ABCs of Christian Living: Joy, Obedience, and Friendship are just a few. I pray that each of these devotions will allow God to show each one us how we can apply these points to our lives and that we share and grow with each other in Christ throughout our evening together. The fun starts at 7:00 pm in rooms 143 & 145 (in the modular building behind the church). Don't miss the upcoming dates:June 6th, July 11th, August 15th, September 12th, October 10th, and November 7th.
