PRAYER MEETING & BIBLE STUDY
(Meets 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Wednesdays at 11:00 am)

The first half of our meeting is spent in offering praise for blessings received and requesting prayers for those in need.

Following prayer service, we have our Bible study session. We are currently finishing the Book of Proverbs. After that we will begin the study of The Purpose Driven Life, by Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif. We would love to have you join us . (Snacks are provided.)

The Purpose Driven Lifeis a manifesto for Christian living in the 21st century . . . A lifestyle based on eternal purposes. Warren clearly explains God’s five purposes for each of us:

      We were planned for God’s pleasure, so your first purpose is to offer real worship.
      We were formed for God’s family, so your second purpose is to enjoy real fellowship.
      We were created to become like Christ, so your third purpose is to learn real discipleship.
      We were shaped for serving God, so your fourth purpose is to practice real ministry.
      We were made for a mission, so your fifth purpose is to live out real evangelism.

Participants are requested to read one chapter each day in preparation for the weekly Bible Study meeting.
