2009 Theme, Community Items, Perspectives Spring Classes (Pastoral Emphasis from 1/4)

Happy New Year. Our theme for 2009 is "Growing to Spiritual Maturity". We want to focus on our spiritual growth and move from 'milk' to 'meat'.

The Men's Ministry will be starting a Men's Bible Study every Second Sunday beginning January 14th. All men are invited to attend and participate.

Don't forget about the other areas for spiritual growth: Sunday School, Tuesday Prayer (6pm & 7pm), Wednesday evening Bible Study (7pm), and Thursday morning Bible Study (9am).

All girls ages 9 to 17 and their parent or guardian are asked to be present for the Girls Enrichment Ministry kickoff on Jan.24th at 9 am.

A couple of Community items:
  • The Town is considering annexing 10 areas in Cary which may affect some of our members. Public informational meetings are being held between 5-8 p.m. on January 13 at the Senior Center and January 14 at the Herb Young Community Center. Both sessions will provide the same information. Citizens will be given an opportunity to ask questions regarding the annexation and extension of municipal services to the proposed areas (there may be costs to the citizens with the annexation). The areas under consideration are Brookridge, Carpenter Upchurch Road, Country Lane/Mickey Lane, Evans Road, Hemlock Ridge, Jenks Carpenter Road, Pleasant Grove Church Road, Reedy Creek Road and Woodland Acres.
  • Raise the Praise Worship Experience with Dr Norman Hutchins on 1/9 at 7pm at NC State. He will perform "It's Your Season", "God's Got A Blessing". It's free but you need tickets to attend.
For more details on these community items, see our Community page.

Perspectives on the World Christian Movement is a ministry course providing training for Christians to be equipped for local cross-cultural ministry, missions, and for discipling the nations. Spring classes are starting on Wed. evenings on Jan. 14th in Apex and Durham. It's a 15 week long course. If anyone is serious interested, please contact Elder Bullock for more details.

2008 Contribution Statements are available at the Welcome Center for pickup during the month of January.

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
