In May we are planning to host eight of our leaders from India who have assisted Pastor Joe Atkinson in our Full Life in Christ mission there. Please pray for this. They are in the process of securing Visa’s, which is not an easy task. During the next few weeks, please pray for God’s favor with the embassy officials so they all can get Visas and are able to come!

How Do We Respond to Immigrants and Refugees? What would Jesus have us do? Pastor John will lead a book study on this issue, using the book Seeking Refuge: On the Shores of the Global Refugee Crisis. If you are interested in being part of this please let John know. Then purchase the book and read it. John will be looking at a date when we can meet to discuss, pray, and listen to what God is saying to us.

Pastor John's study on his book Praying will meet on Saturday, April 1st, at 10 a.m. We will discuss: How solitary praying helps in the creation of authentic community; How praying is bigger than what we can think or see; How praying shapes us into overcomers; and How praying releases us from a spirit of control. All are invited!

We will have Baptisms on Palm Sunday (April 9). If God calls you to be baptized please contact Pastor John (johnpiippo@msn.com) or Tim Curry (tntcurry@gmail.com)
