Pastor David is starting a new course this Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. created for those who would like to explore the meaning of the Christian faith. It would be especially good for those adults thinking of joining the church but it is open to everyone. The Alpha course has been held all over the world and covers these topics: Who is Jesus? Why Did Jesus Die? How Can I Be Sure of My Faith? Why and How Do I Pray? How Does God Guide Us? Who Is the Holy Spirit? What Does the Holy Spirit Do? How Can I Be Filled With the Spirit? How Can I Resist Evil? Why and How Should We Tell Others? Does God Heal Today? What About the Church? How Can I Make the Most of the Rest of My Life?

Request s from the Trustees: 1. We ask parents/guardians to please accompany your children if they need to go to another part of the building. 2. Please do not bring an item to contribute to the church until you find out if it is needed. 3. Please do not bring food, especially ice pops, into the sanctuary. 4.
