SUNDAY MORNING CONNECTION GROUPS

We also have 3 different Bible studies on Sunday mornings at 9:15.

Koinonia

Beginning in Matthew 17, Jesus covers some pretty tough topics. How do you handle divorce, rich people and sin in the church?

Jesus tackles all the hard topics and even some that are not so hard, unless you try to actually live it. Come be encouraged with teaching from the Gospel of Matthew.

Led by Rick Swaim and meeting in Room 4.

Discovery

You have probably heard of the great Old Testament prophet Elijah. But did you know that his successor, Elisha, had twice as many miracles recorded in the Bible?

If you want to know more about them, you will have to find your way into Room 5 on Sunday mornings.

Led by Wes Smith and meeting in Room 5.

Young(ish) Adults

Each week this class will be digging into a different section of scripture and focusing in on how it affects our daily life. Expect lots of discussion.

Library News

Many new books and DVDs have recently been added to your WLFMC library.  One of the unique books was written by a former member of WLFMC, Lori Hearn, who attended here with her husband Mike and daughter Mallory until a job move took them to Tennessee. An Unfamiliar Path is the story of one family’s journey into the unknown.  On April 28, 2010, life for the Hearn family was forever changed when Mike discovered that his health problem, which they assumed focused on a sinus infection, was actually brain cancer.  As you read the account of the ups and downs this young family encountered in Mike’s battle to regain his health you will be inspired by the entire family’s faith and trust in God’s grace to carry them through this unexpected journey.  (Mike is doing well currently; his parents live at Tippecanoe Lake.)  Another challenging book is Not a Fan, written by Kyle Idleman. The author encourages you to consider what it really means to call yourself Christian.  With direct frankness Kyle invites you to take an honest look at your personal relationship with Jesus—and perhaps make some changes in your response to Him.

New items of interest to the children include several DVDs in the “Paws & Tales” series by Chuck Swindoll, conveying biblical wisdom in child-sized doses.  For the youth, “The Seven Sleepers Series” written by Gilbert Morris and published by Moody Press delivers interest-catching fantasy adventures that convey a Christian perspective.  And for those who enjoy reading about the Amish, a new series has begun with intriguing events focused in Shipshewana—almost in our back yards!  Try Falling To Pieces by Vanetta Chapman for some entertaining, wholesome enjoyment.
