"To get something you never had, you have to do something you
never did"
When God takes something from your grasp. He's not punishing you,
but merely
Opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God
will never take you where the Grace of God will
Not protect you.”

Adult Discipleship Spring Offerings
Preparing and Sending Spirit-Filled Disciples
We
continue to use Brian McLaren and Tony Campolo’s book Adventures in Missing the Point during this
month. We will move from the foundational discussions surrounding
God to more worldly social issues. McLaren’s provocative approach
challenges thoughtful Christians to take a deeper cut at
understanding what it means to be a Spirit-filled disciple.
July 4: Being Post Modern
How fitting to end our series on Independence Day. Our country has
struggle and survived challenges that have defeated others.
Similarly, the church has been threatened with extinction yet
continues to strive forward to prepare and send spirit-filled
disciples in a post modern world.
Please come and be part of Coffee Conversations fon July 11 and
18 as we gain input from and take questions from our
congregation.
For Sunday, July 11th, we will talk about Item 9 on the Interim
Pastor CIF:
"What are the Session's priorities for this interim
time?" PLEASE note the question and the answers for
Item 9. We will actually try to prioritize this list
with the help of those who come--as well as add any other
priorities suggested.
We will do a similar exercise on July 18 for Item #10.
What
special characteristics and qualifications will the interim
pastor need to be effective?
GREAT
BANQUET INFORMATION
You are invited to be
a guest at the Great Banquet given by God and to feast on His
goodness and love.
What is The Great
Banquet? The focus of the Great Banquet is to know Jesus Christ as
Lord and Savior and to make Him known. The Great Banquet is a
72-hour experience, beginning on Thursday evening and ending on
Sunday evening. For three days, guests live and study together in a
worshipful time of singing, prayer and discussion. During each of
fifteen talks given by laity and clergy, the theme of God’s grace is
presented. Guests participate in the daily celebration of Holy
Communion and examine more fully the presence of Christ in His body
of believers. They personally experience His grace through the
prayers and acts of a loving, Christian support community. Who
should attend the Great Banquet?
This weekend
experience is for anyone who:
1. Wishes to strengthen his/her own spiritual life;
2. Wants to have a better understanding of prayer, the sacraments,
study and Christian action;
3. Strives to live a Christian life that bears fruit for God;
4. Seeks to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to make Him
known:
5. Willingness to participate in monthly 4th
Sunday Community prayers at Whitelick.
