We will begin a membership class this Sunday at church. It will be held in Room #1 during the Sunday School hour. The class will go for eight weeks. I will be teaching the class. Membership class is a time of discussion, teaching and questions in which you can get to know our church better.  In a membership class we study and discuss the statement of faith for our church. In other words, “what do we believe the Bible is telling us about God, our sinful condition and the redemptive work of Christ on the cross?” If at the end of the class you are interested in church membership you share your testimony of salvation to the elders of the church and communicate your desire to join the church. If at the end of the eight week membership class you are not interested in membership there is no obligation to continue the process.
We will continue in Luke this coming weekend. We will focus on Luke 13:1-17. The issue is raised to Jesus as to why evil things happen. Later Jesus heals a woman who is afflicted by a “spirit of infirmity”.
Read the passage and think about it before Sunday.
Be sure to put the Ministry Fair on you calendar for October 8. Different ministries will be displayed after church in the gym. Pizza and hot dogs will be served. Check it out and see how you can use your spiritual gifts for God’s kingdom.
There will be a Rockside Ranch graduation and potluck on October 15. Be sure to make a dish and bring it that Sunday. It is always a blessing to celebrate life transformation in the Rockside graduates.
God Bless You
