Loved by God - Liz Curtis Higgs

This coming Wednesday, March 5th, we begin our next Bible Study Series. Loved By God by Liz Curtis Higgs. This is a seven week study. The cost of the member book is $14.00. We will meet Wednesday nights from 6;45 pm - 8:00 pm at Christ UMC on the corner of Starr ext. and Stadium. (Cady-corner from our new building) You are encouraged to enroll your school aged children in either Caravans or teen cell group. Watch this video! I think it says it all! Remember to pause the music in the box to the right before hitting play.

Valentine's Dinner & A Story

Women's Ministries went out on a limb and tried something new. Thank you to all the women who dragged their husbands, boyfriends, sons and friends out to join us for a very special evening at the Spaghetti Warehouse in the Downtown Toledo. The night was a success!

When we started Dinner & A Story nearly a year ago, it was a potluck dinner, fellowship and a story of one woman's walk of faith. They have been so great. Over the year we have learned so much from the women God has given to speak to us.

Without having a building right now, we had come up with the idea to go out to eat instead of a potluck. And our minds just rolled from there. Within minutes we were having a couple speak since February is the month of love and there couldn't just be one man, we would have to invite them all. So we came up with Valentine's Dinner & A Story which was the same as before but with a twist. I must say we were a little nervous at first. But we ended up with thirty-six people on Friday night!!

Doug & Tracy Rogowski shared their story of love and faith with those in attendance. It is always hard to stand in front of a crowd and share your life story. We thank them so much for being willing to do such a scary thing. But more importantly for being obedient to God's calling to speak. Because of them, I would say that no one walked out of the dinner the same! They truly were a blessing! Thank you again!

Here are some pics that Betty Metz has turned in. If you have any pics of the evening email them to me and I will get them posted.

Deadline to buy tickets

Deadline to make your reservations for the Valentine's Dinner & A story is this Sunday!!! Please see Sharon McQueary at the Women of Hope table in the hallway at church tomorrow morning!

Out of the mouths of babes!

March 5th Begins our next Bible Study

Well, as of this evening, we have officially finished our study of Beth Moore's Daniel! WOW! What a ride! God is so good! And we have all lived through it!! PRAISE HIM!!! If you participated in this study, you know exactly what I am talking about.

When you are doing something good, like studying the Word of God and hiding it in your heart! Satan attacks head on! I know that I have felt this myself over the last 12 weeks. This was a hard study! I'm so proud of each of you that have taken it on! Wasn't it worth it? Share with us some of the things you learned. Just scroll down to the post of this post and click on comments.

Food for Thought
YOU WILL NEED TO PAUSE THE MUSIC IN THE BOX TO THE RIGHT

Matthew 24:4:5 Jesus said to them, "Take heed that no one deceives you. For
many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive
many."
