PODs question (Given that we are different… What specific

barriers exist for us as a church as we move forward

into our God given purpose, mission, and identity

together?)

Barriers on Our Way

#1) We are all different Kevin & Scott

-when you are more important to me than my

preference we clear that hurdle. Gal 2:20

Song “In Christ Alone”

Barriers and Galatians

#2) Prejudice, Bias, and Fear for Our Image

Pastor John

Barriers and Galatians

#3) Idolatry of the past Pastor Ron

-Judaizers values their tradition more than what

Jesus was doing? Do we do that as Christians?

Ladies Bible Studies Monday Afternoon Bible Study Begins September 16 at 1PM (no-tice time change) the Monday Bible study group will begin a new series. It is a 12 week video study of women in the Bible. Each week a different speaker will lead us as we look at the lessons learned from 12 women in the Bible and what they mean for us to-day. We will have a 1/2 hour discussion over a cup of coffee after each video presentation. Sign the sheet on the foyer table so that we know how many chairs to circle around in the Fireside room. Tuesday Morning Bible Study is starting up on September 24th. This year we will start out with "Depending on Jesus: Dis-covering the Sufficiency of Christ" by Dale Larsen and Sandy Larsen. There is always room for more in the class. Come join us for coffee and sharing our love for Jesus Christ. Time is 9:30 in the Fireside Room.
