Weekly Update, February 28th, 2025
Hi Church,
Look forward to seeing you this Sunday as we continue our series in the Gospel of John. Jesus digs into his Farewell Discourse and covers some incredible truths about heaven, the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, and so on.
New Members Class
You are invited to join us for a New Members class on Sunday, March 9th at 12:15pm. This class is an excellent way to gain a closer look at the church's beliefs, mission, and opportunities of service and help you decide whether to pursue membership. I would love for you to attend. This in an informational meeting; there is no commitment to membership. A light lunch is provided and childcare, if needed. Please sign up at the Connect Center, in the church app, or using this link: New Members Class
New Women’s Bible Study
Remember Me is a Bible study which focuses on and uncovers deep meaning in the Passover of the Bible. By studying the teachings God gave through the first Passover, we come to understand more fully the amazing sacrifice given for us through the blood of our Passover Lamb, Jesus Christ. Join us Tuesday mornings, Wednesday nights (with childcare) or Saturday mornings for this study that will help us understand our Lamb of God. Study begins the week of March 11. Please sign up at the Connect Center or in the church app.
VBS Recruitment
Come BEE a volunteer at Magnified! VBS 2025 where we will encourage kids to look closely at the details of God’s amazing world and magnify, or proclaim, the greatness of God. God made us, cares about us, loves us, forgives us, and is faithful to keep all His promises to us.
VBS is June 22-26 (Sun.-Thur.) from 6-8:30pm. We need teachers and assistant teachers; volunteers for snacks, recreation, crafts, missions; help with set design/decorations and registration. There’s a place for everyone! Sign up at the Volunteer Registration Table in the atrium!
Women’s Retreat
Have you ever thought, "Why should I ask God for anything again when I have done it before, and it hasn't worked?" Many of us have thought the same thing before. To get practical answers to these questions, join us for our Annual Women's Retreat, March 14-15, at Camp Wabanna. This year, our focus will be on "A Praying Life". Our speaker, Julie Courtney from SeeJesus Ministries, will help us look at Jesus' powerful yet simple teachings on prayer. We will learn to pattern our prayers on Jesus' style of prayer.
Retreat registration is $60 and is open to all women, 9th grade and up. Register now in the church app, at the Connect Center, or by using this link: Women's Retreat
Men’s Retreat
Leadership is absolutely essential to life and to advance the kingdom of God. Simply put, God has designed our world in such a way that leadership plays a huge role! Also, leadership is something that each person will have an opportunity to display so we should seek to cultivate our own passion and skills for leadership. At our men's retreat, Mark Dooley will be speaking about leadership.
The Men’s Retreat will be March 28-29 at Camp Wabanna in Edgewater, MD. Retreat registration is $60 and is open to all men, 9th grade and up. Please sign up at the Connect Center, in the church app, or by using this link: Men's Retreat
Prayer for Revival
Join us on Thursday, March 13 at 11am as we pray for God to bring true revival to our church and nation. We meet in room 112, downstairs.
Blessings!
Pastor Bryan
