PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE STUDY
“Purpose Driven Life-What On Earth Am I Here For?”
Starts September 17 and runs 6 weeks
There are 4 different sessions that are being offered. Pick the one that works best with your schedule and we will see you then!
Mondays: 6:30
Tuesdays: 10:00 & 6:30
Wednesdays: 6:00
Books are $10.00 and will be available this Sunday at church. If finances are a problem, please take a book and come join us anyway. Your book expense is covered!
The other day as I was just sitting in God’s presence, I was wondering…”Why am I here? What are the next steps for my life and my ministry at First Christian Church”. Truth be told we have all thought about our purpose here on earth. Rick Warren says the most basic question everyone faces in life is “Why am I here? What is my purpose?”
The Purpose Driven Life takes us on a spiritual journey and goes deeper, applying it to the lifestyle of individual Christians changing their lives. This book study helps readers understand God’s incredible plan for their lives and how to begin to live the life God created them to live.
· We were planned for God’s pleasure: so your first purpose is to offer real worship.
· We were formed for God’s family: so your second purpose is to enjoy real fellowship.
· We were created to become like Christ: so your third purpose is to learn real discipleship.
· We were shaped for serving God: so your fourth purpose is to practice real ministry.
· We were made for mission: so your fifth purpose is to live out real evangelism.
I truly think this study will be life changing even if you have done it before. My prayer is that everyone will read the book, take part in a study group and share in this awesome spiritual journey.

CAMP WORK DAY

TRUNK OR TREAT
Mark your calendar for October 31st. Our annual "Trunk or Treat" will be at our church and is open to the community. There are crazy decorations, competitions, photo opportunities, free hot dogs & lemonade, candy for the kids and spooks all around. Come out with your family! We will post times closer to date.
Please know that all events are open to YOU. You do not have to be an active member to participate. A lot of times these special events/outings are a GREAT way to get to know a new church. The environment is more casual that church service and it gives you an opportunity to meet and observe our church family.
Watch for more updates and information as dates approach! So much going on at FCC!!
Blessings,
Rev. Kristi Stuckel
