How To . . .
Having a tool and
knowing how to use it are two different things. And
though I grew up working in my dad's hardware store and was
fascinated by the hand and power tools, I still have to
admit that there are many tools that I don't know how to
use.
I'm sure that someone
in our congregation, for example, knows what a "ten foot
 concrete vibrator" is and
how to use it (see a picture from a catalog at right), but I don't have a clue. To a concrete worker, it might be
the most obvious thing in the world, but to me, it's just a
strange mystery that I might never understand.
It's the same way with
the tools of our faith. I grew up with a Bible and
using a Bible seems as natural as can be to me, but many
people tell me that they don't know how to read it, how to
understand it--or even where to start their study of it.
And learning to pray--many people tell me--is like trying to learn a
foreign language.
So in our worship
series that begins on Sunday, we want to tell the "how-to's"
of the Christian faith. How do you study the Bible?
How do you pray? How do you do family as a Christian?
How do you join a church and become a good member?
We invite you to join
us for this very practical series as we learn the very
basics of our faith!

 Youth
Praise Band CD
Our Youth Praise team has recorded a
CD! We are selling these for $10 as a fundraiser for
our Youth Camp. Since we have over 40 people going this
year, we need all the funds we can get. This CD is a great
way for you to get some great music and help us at the same
time. If you would like to reserve a copy,
contact Kyle.
Senior Adults
To Organ Stop Pizza
Join our seniors on a
trip to
Organ Stop Pizza in Mesa on May 29
at 11:00 am. And if you're not a
senior, that's still okay--the pizza and
entertainment is for all ages!
The cost for pizza, unlimited beverage,
salad, and entertainment is only $8.75 per
person. If you can drive others, that will
help, but we will also take the Church van.
Let
Pastor Numa know if you will join us on
the van or if you can drive others, or make
a note of it in your connection card and
hand it in. The caravan of vehicles
will leave for
Mesa
at 9:45 am. We can enter Organ Stop
at
11:00 am, and will stay until
12:30 pm. Plan on joining us for fun, food, and fellowship.
Dress is casual!
