Soul Café is the place to receive a mid-week boost.

Beginning Wednesday, April 21, Soul Café will begin a new format to serve your better and encourage you in your relationship with Jesus.

From 7:00 to 7:25 p.m. each Wednesday evening, we will gather in the Celebration Hall for Mid-Week Praise & Communion.  We will sing a couple of songs praising God, share in a time of community prayer as we lift up our praises and needs and conclude with the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. 

From 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. each Wednesday evening, we will offer Soul Café Studies, a number of seminars, workshops and small group gatherings that will provide encouragement and practical help in your relationship with Jesus and in living out your faith day-to-day.  The initial Soul Café Studies are outlined on the reverse side of this insert.

Between the Mid-Week Praise & Communion time and the time for Soul Café Studies, you will have an opportunity to sample a dessert and enjoy a beverage (coffee or a cold drink).

You have the option of attending just Mid-Week Praise & Communion, just Soul Café Studies or both as your schedule and interests permit.  For more information, contact Pastor Keith (972-8808).

SOUL CAFÉ STUDIES
Beginning Wednesday, April 21

Soul Café Studies present an opportunity for you to receive encouragement, inspiration and preparation in your journey with Jesus and in living out the Christian faith on a daily basis.  The seminars, workshops and small groups that will be offered will change from time-to-time so be sure to check out our current offerings here:

Becoming A Contagious Christian - Recently, over 50% of our church family indicated that they had a family member, friend, neighbor or co-worker that they would like to see know Jesus better.  This study will help you demonstrate a contagious Christian character, build spiritually strategic relationships, direct conversations toward matters of faith, communicate your faith personally and naturally, explain biblical truths in everyday language and respond to the most common objections to Christianity.  The study will be offered for eight consecutive weeks from April 21 through June 9.

Family Matters - All of us live in relationships, whether we are single or married, with or without children.  The Bible contains lots of principles and encouragement for spouses, parents and singles as we live out life in relationship.  The first challenge that we will look at on April 21 and 28 is Creating A Media Safe Home.  Join us for some great teaching and conversation as we apply what we encounter to our lives.

Exploring The Spiritual Disciplines - Have you longed to have a deeper and more personal journey with Jesus?  On alternating Wednesday evenings for six weeks, we will explore how to practically engage disciplines, such as Bible reading & study, prayer, solitude, confession, service and generosity, which will enhance your devotional life.  We will be using Maxie Dunnam’s Workbook On Spiritual Disciplines as the resource for our study.  This study will be offered on April 21, May 5 & 19 and so on.

Social Justice - The Bible contains hundreds of passages that challenge us to live lives of compassion, mercy and justice as we relate to our neighbors.  We will interact with these passages as we seek to be the people of God in living in community with others.  This group will meet on alternating Wednesdays on April 28, May 12 & 26 and so on.
