House or Home: Gods Blueprint for Biblical Parenting To say that parenting is a great challenge is a vast understatement. With so many competing ideas and philosophies, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and paralyzed. But there is HOPE. God has given us a blueprint for parenting with clear, timeless truths that still work today. Session Titles: -Is There a Parent in the House? -Whats a Parent To Do? -Whats a Child To Do? -Is Technology Helping or Hurting Our Kids? -Is There Hope for Single Parents & Blended Families?

Are you interested in finding your purpose in life? Have you never joined a Sunday School class but would like to? The Master Life class invites you to attend our class in the Summer months as we study the Son of God Bible study based on the movie. Written by Rick Warren, the study will include film clips, a workbook and discussion. Meet us in the church parlor at 9:45am starting June 1 as we look at how Jesus' life reflects the purpose in our lives. Everyone is welcome to attend.

The Week at a Glance

We cannot attain to the understanding of Scripture either by study or by the intellect. Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word. Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: Trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience. - Martin Luther

Trust in God
