Connect BookFall 2012
From our Senior Pastor, Bruce Grubbs ... News! Our “Connect” Ministry now has over 140 groups that meet each week. They meet on campus, in homes, restaurants, and places of business. Currently over 1,700 people participate in these groups weekly.
Why so many groups? To help us connect with each other and grow in our faith. To help us discover and develop the wonderful gifts that God has given us. To help us turn strangers into friends and enjoy life together.
What kind of groups do we have? There are basically two types of groups. “On-going” and “Short- term”. On-Going groups generally meet on Sundays at church. They serve as our “home-base” for Bible study, fellowship and sharing weekly. Short-term groups gather for a few weeks or a few months. They explore topics of interest, deal with issues of concern or tackle a task that needs doing. You can sign up, participate through a course of study or activity and move on to other groups as you may wish.
How can you get involved? Start by scanning this book. Find a Sunday Connect Group that you can become part of in an on-going way. Then consider the other shorter-term options based on your interest, need, or desire. Enroll/register for whatever groups you wish.
When can you get involved? You can join an on-going group at any time. It is best to join a short-term group when it first begins to get the greatest benefit from your experience. These groups may be registered for at the Fall-Group Link, which occurs from August 1st-12th.
There will be sign-up opportunities: -Wednesday evening, August 1st - Sunday, August 5th - Wednesday evening, August 8th - Sunday, August 12th
Registration is also available online at www.gladevillechurch.org/findagroup

Fight for the life of your prodigal child by using the most powerful weapon of all—prayer.

In The Hope of a Homecoming, authors O'Rourke and Sauer share their personal experiences about dealing with their own prodigals. They also offer empowering and professional advice on going deep beneath the surface to enlist and direct God's sovereign power toward the children of our hearts. You'll find key Scriptures, written prayers, coping strategies, and practical advice on such topics as: Conquering fear - Recognizing anger and using it constructively - Praying for protection - Waiting when He's silent - Gaining a new perspective - Tune out Satan's lies of hopelessness. Learn to look at life and your prodigal's situation through God's eyes and respond to it with calm confidence. The Hope of a Homecoming gives insightful help and encourages parents to pray their prodigals home. It's a time filled with heartache, but there are ways to make it easier.

Imagine the transforming power of men coming together within your church and community to honestly examine their lives and take the courageous steps necessary to embrace authentic manhood on a journey to become who God intends them to be. That is the goal of Men's Fraternity.
When men connect in life-changing ways, a powerful ripple effect touches families, workplaces, and the church. Deeper connections with God and other men inspire participants to connect more meaningfully in all facets of their lives. They aspire to a biblical viewpoint marked by integrity, boldness, and compassion. Through this powerful series, men learn to reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously, and expect God's greater reward.
The Format for Men’s Fraternity:
The format is simple: Men come together for weekly 45-minute teaching sessions, followed by 30 minutes of small group interaction in an environment where men are free to talk openly and confidentially about what they heard and express mutual support for one another.
We are beginning Year 2 of 3 years of the Men’s Fraternity Study.The second year’s study is “Winning at Work & Home.”
Winning at Work & Home - Robert Lewis challenges men to step forward, meet their responsibilities, and establish their manhood. This study focuses on the chief responsibilities men have as husbands, fathers, and breadwinners. Participants will evaluate chief responsibilities of how a man successfully relates to a woman and how a man rightly engages in his work.
Year 2 will be offered at three different times:
Men’s Fraternity Year 2 Contact: Mark Wofford Contact #: 615.444.9550 Email: [email protected] When: Every Thursday beginning September 6, 2012 Time: 6:00 - 7:30 am Where: Holiday Inn - Providence Conference Room Cost: $5 weekly (includes breakfast)

If you were not able to attend our first year of Men’s Fraternity Study, we are offering it again this year. Year 1 of 3 years of Men’s Fraternity is “The Quest for Authentic Manhood.”
The Quest for Authentic Manhood study leads men along a journey toward real biblical masculinity while fostering deep spiritual, emotional, and personal growth. This study also takes a man inside himself to consider the forces that are shaping — or misshaping — his personal manhood.
Year 1 will be offered at:

The end goal for children with special needs is no different than our end goal for typical children … being transformed more into Christ's likeness (see the Glade Church strategy).
To realize that goal with children who have special needs, we make the following commitments:
•Caring and trained adult staff•Consistent peer models working alongside children with adult
helpers•Honoring requests of families regarding inclusion/

Our high school ministry exists to glorify God through the spiritual transformation of individual high school students through the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
How we help high school students through the process of spiritual transformation ...
COME/WORSHIPAnnex II for High School students is a midweek worship opportunity for students 9th-12th grade, and usually where they walk through our door for the first time. We play games, worship through music and other arts, and students hear a relevant message of Truth. The bounce-off-the wall outgoing and the shy, quiet, more reserved teen will both find a comfortable fit.
Worship When: Wednesday
Time: 6:30 - 7:30 pmWhere: Annex II
We have a place for students to hang out with their friends over a coke or coffee, and there’s no pressure for them to do anything when they walk through the door.

CONNECT/GROWTo help students connect with other believers and grow in their relationship with Christ, we have Sunday Morning Connect Groups for high school students that meet every week at 9:30 am. We dig into God’s Word and apply it directly to ever-changing teen culture. Students and caring adults discuss parents, dating, relationships, work, peer pressure, friends, values, and boundaries all within the context of God’s perfect plan for their lives.
Life Groups are another way to provide a way for students to go even deeper in both their relationship with Christ and their relationships with their peers.

Life Groups provide a way for students to go even deeper in both their relationship with Christ and their relationships with their peers. These small groups are gender specific and meet in 6-8 week intervals several times a year, typically on Sunday nights. We find that this schedule works best for most students and the absence of the opposite sex alleviates pressure and discussion barriers for guys and girls alike.

What does it mean to be a “member” of the Glade Church?
.
We at the Glade Church will never pursue you to become a member. In fact, you are welcome to worship, connect in a group, and serve in a ministry here (i.e. Choir, First Impressions Ministry, Automotive Ministry, etc.) without being a member. But when you become a member, you will be eligible to vote on church matters, to serve in leadership, and be eligible to lead a group or ministry. Membership implies certain commitments and responsibilities as well. These include but are not limited to the following:
• participating regularly in corporate worship• connecting with and participating in a small group• serving God through this church family
If you wish to become a “member” of the Glade Church, you can join in one the following ways:
• By receiving believer’s baptism (i.e. immersion) by which you are saying that you have received Christ.
• By “statement” that you have already received Christ and have received believer’s baptism.
• By simple transfer of your membership from another Baptist fellowship.
• Note: If you are a believer and you are coming from a church that does not practice baptism by immersion, you may join our church by simply being baptized here.
To learn more about the privileges and responsibilities of being a member of The Glade Church family you may visit the Next Step Center on any Sunday, attend a Next Step Orientation or visit our website (gladevillechurch.org) and click on “Next Step” under the “New Here?” tab.
