HOW PEOPLE CHANGE BIBLE STUDY
In February, we will be beginning the study "How People Change" which is from the Christian Counselling Educational Foundation. This study will be 12 weeks in length and we will meet Thursday evenings at the church. Focussing on continual personal heart change, the study will consist of a short dvd presentation each week, followed by small group discussions based on the "How People Change" book and workbook. All ages are welcome! Please see sign-up sheet in the foyer or speak to Jason or Sarah B. for more information.
POST-CONFESSION LECTURES
The Bible calls us to not only be hearers of the Word, but also doers of the Word. We know this, but often we struggle to transfer that to our daily life. On Wednesday Jan. 18, we hope to continue with the weekly Post- Confession lectures and Rev. Wynia will present topics dealing with the practical application of our faith in a lifestyle that is pleasing to the Lord and of benefit for our neighbour. The heading of this series reads:
LIVING IN THE COVENANT FELLOWSHIP WITH OUR GOD AND OUR NEIGHBOUR.
The introductory lecture of the series of six lectures has as title:
What is the "Therefore"…….there for?
---the connection between what we believe and how we live
To prepare, read Art. 29 of the Belgic Confession and the "Doctrine of Baptism" section on page 587 0f the B.o.P. These lectures are held in the Canadian Reformed Church in Smithville and commence at 8 PM are concluded by 9.30 PM.
