Topics range from bioethics, to politics, to Oprah Winfrey's "A New Earth" webcast. Each holiday weekend we will show another part of the R.C. Sproul video on "The Holiness of God." The combined groups meet in rooms 101/102. Bill Zibell’s Class, The Lord Teach Me to Stand group, has finished up and will be joining the other combined groups for the summer in rooms 101 & 102.

• Fall Children's Ministries Openings
  Come September, we know that we are in need of additional folks to minister to children, whether it be to preschoolers or to kids in elementary school, and whether on Sundays in Power Zone or Wednesdays in AWANA. Our biggest current need is for a director for our AWANA T&T boys group, as well as men to work with the Cubbies and with the T&T Boys on Wednesdays. Please pray that the Lord would send laborers into His harvest (Matthew 9:37-38) – in reality, God cares more for kids than we could ever care (Mark 10:13-16), and He wants their lives to be spent in service to Him (Ephesians 2:10)! If you are interested in helping out, please contact Pastor Rick.
