‘Your Divine Design’ – by Chip Ingram

DO YOU KNOW HOW GOD HAS UNIQUELY WIRED YOU?

God created you in His image, filled you with His Spirit, and He blessed you with spiritual

gifts so you could live a life of impact.

Join Phil Piruzza and explore passages from Romans, Ephesians, and 1 Corinthians to

understand the role of spiritual gifts. In the process you’re invited to pinpoint your own

primary spiritual gift and then learn a Biblical process to develop, and deploy your gift for

greater ministry and significant impact.

Class begins 9:45am – coffee is on!

Sr. Youth BLIZZARD Please be in prayer for all who will be involved

at the upcoming annual senior youth winter retreat to be held at Muskoka Woods on

February 10-12.

‘To Joey, With Love’ –

Be sure to see this movie on the

true story of country & western

singers, Joey & Rory Feek. An

emotional story of love and

hope….and hear the beautiful song

‘In The Time That You Gave Me’.

Proverbs 22:17

“A merry heart does good like medicine”

On the last and

greatest day of the

festival, Jesus stood

and said in a loud

voice, “Let anyone

who is thirsty come

to me and drink.

Whosoever believes

in me, as Scripture

has said, rivers of

living water will flow

from within them.”

John 7:37-38 (NIV)

IF:Gathering February 25th LADIES OF ALL AGES INVITED!

IF God is real….then we want more than anything to live like it.

Invite your gal friends to spend a day with you here listening to speakers, worshiping God, sharing and eating together. IF:KINGSVILLE will be held Saturday February 25, beginning at 9am-5pm. Coffee and muffins will be served at 8:30am. A hot lunch and snacks will be provided. Pay at church office to secure your spot. This year the speakers will be looking at one of the most influential generations that have ever lived - the early church. The way God moved through them was simple and pure. We believe they are the model we need right now. Our dream is that we would experience the power of God as He does big things through simple acts of faith. That we live unified, surrendered to God, not just in our minds and theology, but also in our daily lives. Our hope is that we would participate with the Spirit of God and see Him go forth in our generation in a most powerful way. Cost of entire day will be $20 which includes simulcast, meals and snacks.
