THURSDAY BIBLE STUDY CLASSES

You are invited to join us each Thursday for Bible Study!!  Thursday mornings at 11:00 AM and then at 5:00 PM.  Child care is provided. 

This winter and spring we have been blessed during the 11:00 AM class to have Cindy Eldridge teach and share with us from God's word.  She has done and outstanding job and we appreciate her commitment to the Lord.  She will be taking a break while school is out for the summer to enjoy her grandchild.  During that time Sybil Manis, our Interim Director will be teaching "Forgiveness: Breaking the Power of the Past" by Kay Arthur, David and B. J. Lawson.

As imperfect people living in an imperfect world, we eventually confront in nearly every relationship the need to extend or receive forgiveness. But when the wounds run deep, forgiveness doesn't come easy.
This eye-opening study deals with the difficult questions of forgiveness, including How can I forgive when the pain is so great? Does forgiving mean I have to forget the past? and What if I choose not to forgive? As you dig into what the Bible says on this vital topic, you'll encounter the depths of God's own mercy and discover how choosing forgiveness can free you from a painful past and propel you toward being all that God intends you to be.

On Thursday evenings at 5:00 PM Wayne Sherfey continues to teach practical lessons from God's word of how to live and walk daily with the Lord.

Everyone is invited to join us for these Bible studies as we strive to grow closer and more like Jesus.

Those that attend the Bible studies will be offered a limited supply of baby diapers or toilet paper.  You must arrive no later than 10 minutes after the hour and stay for the entire Bible lesson to qualify.

TWO IMPORTANT NEEDS!

There are two items we need to replace very soon!  The most important is the stove.  We are in need of a 30" range.  Color doesn't matter and we don't need a lot of bells and whistles.  From time to time we provide meals and without a stove that works properly it is becoming more and more difficult. 

The other item we need to replace is our copy machine.  Ours is on its last leg.  We can only print a page or two at a time now.  When we have bigger printing needs we are having to pay for the copies.  We just need a very simple commercial grade machine.  Doesn't need to do anything fancy other than being able to print at least 100 pages at a time with minimal expense.

Please join us in prayer about these needs.  We know that God is at work in and through this ministry and that He will provide. He says to ask and so we are praying and letting these needs be known.

How You Can Get Involved

Summer is quickly approaching and with that comes many opportunities for ministry in the Gibsontown community.  There is need for groups to provide summer activities for the children during the months they are not in school.  This could be a week of VBS or a weekly one day activity which might be a reading program or Back Yard Bible Club.  This is a great place to do pre-mission trip training for your youth group.  The needs are great, spiritually and economically, in this community.  

In addition to the needs for children is also the need for individuals to teach Life Skills Classes to adults.  These classes are offered to teach job skills so they can get a job or a better job such as basic computer, resume' writing, and income producing skills.  To teach basic homemaking skills such as cooking, sewing, budgeting, basic health care, etc.   The list could go on and on.  Classes may be a one day class or on going. 

If you or your church group is looking for a ministry to be involved in, we have the location.  Contact us for additional information at Gibsontownministries@gmail.com or 423/765-2950.
