I was so excited this morning (Tuesday) when I got back from doing some communion visitation and saw that my Christian Believer study materials had arrived. As I took a brief look at the reading materials and study guide I knew that God is going to use this study to change lives of people in Pharr Chapel. I have already gotten feedback from some of you who want to be a part of the class, along with requests for more information. During the next five editions of this newsletter, I will be sharing with you more about Christian Believer and giving you an opportunity to sign up.
One of the most often-asked questions I get is: Will this be a daytime or evening study? The answer right now is: Let me know you
are interested and what time on Thursdays works for you. My hope and prayer is to have enough sign up so that I can offer both a daytime and evening section of the class. Let me know ASAP so that I can make the proper plans.
Why do I believe so strongly in these groups? If we just allow our spiritual development to be attending worship on Sunday mornings and occassional prayer during the week, we are missing out on the collective wisdom of the body of Christ to help us hear what God is having to say. It is through Sunday School and study/prayer groups that we truly get to experience the body of Christ at work. It's through Sunday School that our children and youth develop spritual formation behavior that will impact them the rest of their lives. As I've told several people, I don't remember what the preacher was preaching on when I was 5 years old, but I do remember many of the lessons that I learned in Sunday School.
May we all be so blessed as to take advantage of these opportunites God has given us to know Him more.
See you Sunday!
