ELDER INVITATION

Following morning worship, the elders will be available to members

and guests for prayer and ministry. Simply come to the front of the

sanctuary where we will be glad to: pray for your personal needs, lead

you in receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior, discuss church

membership.

April 12, 2015

ESPECIALLY FOR OUR GUESTS

We are glad to have you worship with us today. You

are worshiping with people who experience the

same difficulties of life as you. We have nothing to

boast about except the God we worship. Please relax

and focus upon the Lord Jesus who loves you and

desires for you to follow Him. While God has surely

led you here, you likely still have a number of im-

portant questions about us; how to get more involved and connected in

meaningful relationships or about your own personal or spiritual needs.

If so, please allow us to help you by completing the guest registration

inside the back cover or by coming forward during the invitation time.

pared to minister. Needs can be

someone’s car won’t start after

church, someone asks for help, or

any of a variety of issues. For

Book Recommendation for April Why Trust Jesus by Dave Sterrett

The last decade has shaken our trust in personal safety through terrorist at-

tacks, school shootings, economic turmoil, and war. We have seen hypocrisy

in government leaders as well as in the church. We look for relationships that

are authentic, but we have many questions in regard to faith, reason, suffering,

and the person of Jesus himself. Dave Sterrett helps us answer these and other

questions. Many people, both Christians and non-Christians, have questions

about why and how to trust Jesus. But there is hope! He is worthy of our trust.

"Exploring the Differences Between Christianity and Islam" Dr. Mark Christian

Groomed from boyhood to become an influential leader of the Muslim faith,

Mark Christian was afforded unparalleled exposure to the ideology of Islam,

and the stringent creed of Sharia law. He was the constant companion and con-

fidant of his father, a wealthy doctor, devout Imam, and persuasive advisor for

the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. His uncle, who, during the massive impris-

onment of the Muslim Brotherhood members in Egypt in 1965, shared a cell

with Sayyid Qutb, the revered and infamous ideologue for the Brotherhood’s

movement. As Dr. Christian began preparation to become an Islamic religious

leader, he sought answers regarding the fundamental tenets of Islam, which

ultimately led to his conversion to Christianity in March, 2003.
