SummitWednesday Meal, Education & Fellowship
Led by Tim Lueking in the Family Life CenterHow do I become a Christian? This is a question that every Christian faced at some point in their faith. But many Christians may not know what to share with another person when asked about a relationship with Jesus Christ. Why should you attend this class? Each “Gospel encounter” may require a different approach but the message always stays the same. Join this class in order to learn how to share the Gospel with friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers and because sharing your faith is a part of your role as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Let us learn together how to be a “Messenger of the Message.”
Women's Ministry class facilitated by Beth Hendrickslocation has been changed to second floor room 220 (over kitchen) MEETS at 6:05pm (6p childcare drop-off available in room 116/117 for ages 4-grade 5 or Noah's park for age 3 and under) Bible scholars compare James to the prophet Amos. In other ways James more closely resembles the Book of Proverbs than any New Testament book. Come along with Beth Moore on a journey to get to know both the man and the Book of James. You will never be the same again. Topics in this study include: joy, hardship, faith, reversal of fortunes for rich and poor, wisdom, gifts from above, single-mindedness, the dangers of the tongue, humility, and prayer. Plus, Beth introduces a 5-tiered study approach that she has never done before. This class will meet for 9 weeks.
Worship Choir Practice is from 7:30p to 8:45p in the sanctuary (pick up your practice materials first in the multipurpose room). Choir is open to anyone!

Choice 2 - for Women, Young Women, room 220 (upstairs over kitchen)6:15-7:15pHearts on Fire Women's Ministry presents Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul by Stasi and John Eldredge. John is the author of the popular "Wild at Heart" book studied by our men's ministry. Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into a romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the Beauty of the story. Those desires are far more than child's play. They are the secret to the feminine heart.
Most women think they have to settle for a life of efficiency and duty, chores and errands, striving to be the women they "ought" to be, but often feeling they have failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christian women add to the pressure. "Do these ten things, and you will be a godly woman." The effect has not been good on the feminine soul. But her heart is still there. Sometimes when she watches a movie, sometimes in the wee hours of the night, her heart begins to speak again. A thirst rises within her to find the life she was meant to live--the life she dreamed of as a little girl. The message of Captivating is this: Your heart matters more than anything else in all creation. The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel as a woman--they are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to come now, as the Hero of your story--to rescue your feminine heart and release you to live as a woman, fully alive.
A woman truly captivating! What Wild at Heart did for men,

Adults — 5 Weeks / 5 Ministers / 5 Love Languages
For each of five weeks a different minister - Tim, sSteve, Doug, Chad, and Ben - will discuss in detail one of the five love languages from the materials by Gary Chapman.
What if you could say or do just the right thing guaranteed to make that special someone feel loved? The secret is learning the right love language! Learn the love language you speak, as well as discover how your loved ones best feel loved.
Words of Affirmation Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important—hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten. Tim & Katherine Lueking / April 28
Quality Time In the vernacular of Quality Time, nothing says, “I love you,” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes your significant other feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful. Ben & Devon Radant / May 5
Receiving Gifts Don’t mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. If you speak this language, the perfect gift or gesture shows that you are known, you are cared for, and you are prized above whatever was sacrificed to bring the gift to you. A missed birthday, anniversary, or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous—so would the absence of everyday gestures. Doug & Lisa Wiggers / May 12
Acts of Service Can vacuuming the floors really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an “Acts of Service” person will speak volumes. The words he or she most want to hear: “Let me do that for you.” Laziness, broken commitments, and making more work for them tell speakers of this language their feelings don’t matter. Steven & Joyce Hancock / May 19
Physical Touch This language isn’t all about the bedroom. A person whose primary language is Physical Touch is, not surprisingly, very touchy. Hugs, pats on the back, holding hands, and thoughtful touches on the arm, shoulder, or face—they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care, and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive. Chad & Megan Allen / May 26

Four Week Study for Women
|
Loving Well by Beth Moore features four heart-to-heart messages designed to help women embrace the biblical mandate to love and to develop skills for loving others. Taped at a Living Proof Live event, Beth discusses how some people are a joy to love, some are difficult to love, and how we all deal with some people who are humanly impossible to love. In all of those relationships one truth endures: We will never be able to love others well until we have been loved well. And only God can ultimately give us the complete love we so desperately need. Class members will determine if the class will skip spring break, April 7, and end on April 21, or if they will meet four weeks straight.
