If you call Bible Center your church home then you’re invted to the next Family Vision Night & Annual Meeting! A few times per year, we host a Family Vision Night to keep everyone updated on the latest church news. Please join us in celebrating what God has done in the church and around the community!
Dress casually–and bring the kids! Find out about upcoming staff transitions Learn about some good financial news from Pastor
Lee Walker Submit questions: Our pastoral panel will
answer pre-submitted questions about any area of their ministries. Please fill out a Connection Card or submit a question on the app or website (BibleCenterChurch.com/ask).
And socialize! After the meeting, there will be an ice cream social—an excellent way to fellowship and get to know others in the church!
On the same evening, a Financial Details Meeting will be held from 5:00-5:30 PM in Room 3101 for anyone who would like detailed information on the church budget (not just the overview). Anyone in the church family is invited to attend this meeting!
Dear Friends, Welcome to Bible Center! I’m glad you’re here and hope you’ll make your-self at home. Today, we’re thrilled to honor and pray for our graduates! This is an unforgettable time in all of their lives. Some are graduating from high school, others from college, and others from post-graduate work. Thank-fully, we are privileged to celebrate with these high-energy, hard-working men and women! Has it been a few years since you graduated from high school or college? Can you imagine what it would be like to walk across this stage in 2017? It’s hard to journey through life even in the best of situations, so please help me encour-age these graduates. Let’s pray for their futures, for their walks with the Lord, and for their careers. This week I stumbled across an 8th century Celtic prayer that seems appro-priate for our graduates today:
Dear Jesus, may Your:Eternal Light shine in our hearts.Eternal Goodness deliver us from evil.Eternal Power be our support.Eternal Wisdom scatter the darkness of
our ignorance.Eternal Pity have mercy on us that with
all our heart and mind and soul and strength we may seek Your face and be brought by Your infinite mercy into Your holy presence.
May you be blessed by today’s celebration, and pass along your blessings in tangible ways to support those who deserve the honor of this special day. For the city,
Matt FriendSenior Pastor
