Young Adult Bible Study Change for 7/6

We are planning to do some work at the Kovacevic's old house on Monday night to bless them during our regular Bible study time. If you can make it any earlier, Dan should be at the house by around 6 pm. We will be painting and prepping their house to sell. So the plan is to meet this Monday at Kovacevic's old house at 7pm: 317 Dennison AveAkron 44312. Looking forward to serve with you!

New VLBF Bible Study on 7/20

Coming Soon: Home Bible Study on Marriage
Please consider joining us for an in-depth Bible study on the topic of marriage and a rich time of fellowship and friendship!

Starting on July 20th we will begin a home based study using the book and study guide entitled “Sacred Marriage” by Gary Thomas (see book description attached).

From the 20th on we will be meeting every other week at either Jerry and Patti Emich’s home or Jim and Roslyn Burkett’s home where child care will be provided. We will meet on Monday evenings from 6:45 to 8:30.

The Bible study will be limited (due to space considerations and group dynamics) to a small group of no more than six couples. If there are more couples who are interested we will try to begin a second study or have a waiting list for another study in the new year.

For those who are considering joining us please note that as a group we would expect a commitment to attend each session and complete the reading and study guide assignments. If you have any questions regarding the study or to sign up please contact Jim or Roslyn Burkett or Jerry and Patti Emich

Project Shine 6/21-26

Project Shine 2009 June 21^st-26^th

This year we have 7 going in the Youth Group to Project Shine. Project Shine is a local missions trip we do each year to work in the Kenmore area of Akron. We will be painting houses, both inside and out, small construction projects, and yard work to the residents in need. This is a great way to minister the Gospel of our Lord through service to our extended community. We have built relationships with Project Shine over the last four years and are looking forward to a great week this summer. There is a cost of $175 each for the students going and we are seeking to raise this money at our dinner. Prayerfully consider donating to our God by giving our teens the opportunity to serve Him at Project Shine. For more information on Project Shine check out www.projectshineakron.org.
