Interactive
Bible Study: First Place 4 Health
Many diet experts agree that developing self-control is a key
part of weight loss and weight management. But the Bible says
that believers develop self-control only when Christ is at
the center of their lives. The secret to self-control is
giving up control to God!
Through this new 12-week Bible study, First Place 4 Health
members will learn how to let go of their frantic need to
control their circumstances, which often leads to stress
induced, out of control eating. They will also take positive
steps toward letting God take over the management of their
mind, emotions, body and spirit. As Christ moves into first
place, life moves into balance.
This 12 week study begins on Tuesday, March 9, 2010, will
conclude on May 25. This is an open study for men and women.
Each session takes place at the church from 7:00
p.m.–9:00 p.m. Registration is limited. Please register
by contacting the
church office.

Messiah
in the Passover
“Messiah in the Passover,” a vivid and exciting
demonstration showing how Jesus fulfilled the ancient feast
of Passover, will be held on Thursday, March 18, 2010,
beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the Worship Center.
Our special guests will be Steve and Carol Fenchel,
missionaries with Chosen People Ministries. Chosen People
Ministries was founded in 1894 and has grown into a worldwide
ministry to “the Jews first and to the Gentile.”
“Messiah in the Passover” begins with a
traditional Passover Seder table complete with all the
articles of this important Jewish celebration. Pastor Steve
will explain the symbolic meanings of the various items of
the Passover feast and highlight their relationship to the
Last Supper that Messiah celebrated with the disciples,
giving special emphasis on the redemptive significance of the
crucifixion.
A meal will follow the presentation and time of communion.
The meal will feature a traditional Jewish menu. This is a
unique presentation you will not want to miss. The evening is
family friendly and will give insights into Jewish traditions
so that the Jewish roots of Christianity can be understood. A
time of worship will enhance the experience. Be sure and
purchase your tickets for the event early and plan to bring a
friend. Tickets are only $2 for an individual or $5 for a
total family ticket.
