CALENDAR

TONIGHT! Sunday, May 19^th

3DYouth Group meets at the First Church of Evans at 6:00 pm for life lessons from Ruth followed by activities and refreshments.

Wednesday, May 22^nd

Choir practice at the church at 6:00 pm.

Join us at the church for Bible study and prayer at 7:00 pm.  We’re well into our survey of the Old Testament prophets – their ministries, their message, and their madness!  We’re looking at Malachi’s 5^th oracle (“Return to Me and I Will Return to You”).  It’s a great time to join us!

Sunday, May 19^th

Saturday, June 8^th

We are pleased to welcome T. David Gordon back to North Collins for our 10^th Annual Leadership Forum.  Dr. Gordon, who currently serves as Professor of Greek and Religion at Grove City College, will address the theme:

Meeting With God: A Biblical Theology of Worship.

 “The God who banished us from his presence and barred us from it with cherubim and flaming swords,” says Dr. Gordon, “will one day redeem us in the last Adam; and ‘the dwelling place of God will be with men, and he will dwell with them.’”  Plan now to join us for what is sure to be an enjoyable, challenging time of study and application.  Details to follow.

Get the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devices.  Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help.  If yours isn't working properly, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.
