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 in-

volved and connected in meaningful relationships, or about your own personal or spiritual needs. If so, please allow us to help you by com-pleting the guest registration inside the back cover or by coming for-ward during the invitation time. —Ronnie W. Rogers

Preparing Kids for the Future—led by Ryan Polk & Tristan Martin FH 2 & 3, 1/24-3/6 How do we parent in a way to prepare our kids to best engage the world they live in? This class, for both students (youth) and parents of kids of all ages will explore these questions and offer practical answers.

Crazy Little Thing Called Marriage—led by Randy Presley Choir room, 2/21-4/10 Dr. Greg and Erin Smalley explore the traits of a healthy and thriving mar-riage. Based on research of thousands of strong couples across the country, the twelve essential elements outlined are not only biblically based; they also chart a course for a romantic adventure that will last a lifetime. Greg and Erin guide couples to find ways to work around roadblocks in their current relationships and to intentionally create communication patterns that will take them to emotionally safe places. Marriage can have its twists and turns, but the detours don’t necessarily have to lead couples off course. Greg and Erin help couples map out a journey for their marriage so that they can enjoy the passionate and intimate relationship that God has promised.

The Attributes of the Triune God - led by Ronnie Rogers room 115, 4/10-5/1

Written by two research psychologists specializing in adoption and attachment, The Connected Child will help you:

Build bonds of affection and trust with your adopted child Effectively deal with any learning or behavioral disorders Discipline your child with love without making him or her feel threatened

OPPORTUNITIES FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Verse of the week:

Daily Bible Readings for the Week:

Sunday: Lev. 19-20, Ps. 55, Luke 19 Monday: Happy Leap Day! (aka Catch-Up Day) Tuesday: Lev. 21-22, Ps. 56, Luke 20 Wednesday: Lev. 23-24, Ps. 57, Luke 21 Thursday: Lev. 25, Ps. 58, Luke 22 Friday: Lev. 26, Ps. 59, Luke 23 Saturday: Lev. 27, Ps. 60, Luke 24

“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17, NASB

Book Recommendation

One Nation Under God, by Bruce Ashford Is it possible to be passionate about the gospel and care deeply about politics? Can we engage in politics responsibly, confidently, gracious-ly—even Christianly? When it comes to politics, Christians today seem lost and confused. Many Christians desire to relate their faith to politics but simply don’t know how. This book exists to equip the reader to apply Christianity to politics with both grace and truth, with both boldness and humility. Politics is not an evil arena to be avoided. Neither is it our only avenue for impacting society. The reality is much more complex and, oddly enough, much more promising.
