Please join us for Noon Day Bible Study through April 30. The current session is a 7-week study on “Unbreakable Promises. Unshakable Hope!” “What feels shaky in your world? Maybe you feel hurt by the past, disappointed by the present, or worried about the future. Whether it’s heart disease or cancer, job failure or addiction, natural disasters or family disasters, mass murders or mental illness, there are so many reasons to be overwhelmed and hope can feel hard to come by. Now more than ever, we need the definitive declarations of our mighty and loving God. We suggest you turn to this great and precious promise: “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf.” – Hebrews 6:19-20. Noon Day Bible Study is held each Wednesday at 12 noon with exception of holidays. (Dial 848-220-3300. Access code 7266492#). Our Study Manuals are available in the vestibule.
Evening Bible Study: Please join us for evening Bible Study April 9th & April 16th. The current evening
study is “The Easter Experience” by Jason Turner. This is a Right Now Media study. There is no doubt
that life can be a roller coaster of experiences and emotions. The Gospel of Luke shares the emotions of
two wondering disciples who felt disappointed in what they had seen and witnessed. An emotional roller
coaster awaits the despairing disciples as news travels from the empty tomb to two retreating disciples,
headed from Jerusalem to Emmaus. The two disciples have an encounter with Jesus that is not only
life changing but leaves them understanding that no matter what life brings us, Jesus is always
right beside us. Please join us as Pastor Wood facilitate this session via Zoom at 7:00 PM.
In case of inclement weather, cancellation information will be available on WTVD 11, WRAL 5/WRAZ 50,
