Due to the weather reports here in NH, we have adjusted the return plans on the bus, which has been moved up slightly to avoid the worst of the storm. We hope to arrive back at church earlier and have our closing testimony time on site at CBCGB Lexington.

Homiletics: The Power Tool of Bible Study
Led by Auntie Jane
What exactly does God say in the Bible? What does He mean? Have you ever made a serious attempt to train your ears to hear His voice? Take the dare to learn how to analyze, evaluate scriptures and to draw biblical principles and their life applications. Next time He calls, you will know for sure it is His voice.

In light of the anticipated global and personal economic troubles, we will explore ways to use our money wisely with God’s will and principles in mind. Are we living beyond our means? Are we spending what we don’t have? We will consider issues such as wealth, saving, debt, stewardship, greed, indulgence, investing, etc.

My father has always been quiet, distant, and commanding of respect. I’ve always felt that God doesn’t talk to me, is distant, and I’m afraid of him. Hmph. What other aspects of Asian American culture and mores seep into the way we perceive and relate to God in ways we’re not even aware of? What have we got down? Where do we need to grow?

My friend’s a Muslim, and I just went to a Bar Mitzvah. How do I bring up Christianity without being offensive? How can I really talk about God without looking stupid in front of my biology teacher? How do I witness to my best friend, who isn’t Christian?

She’s got it, you want it (Body Image)
(for WOMEN only)
Led by Karolyn.
You’re going out the door; you can’t help but look in the mirror. You’re way too influenced by how you look, you know it. Deep down, you just want to be free of it all – free from how you look, what others think, and what you think as well. You’ll take an honest look at yourself, and see the real you.
