Sunday School Classes:
App Sunday School Class Curriculum: The Reason For God. This class is using a video series by Timothy Keller called, “The Reason for God.” This six-session small group Bible study captures live and unscripted conversations between Tim Keller and a group of people to address their doubts and objections to Christianity. Using literature, philosophy, and Scripture, Keller and the group explore the truth of Christianity. This group meets in the Grappling Zone lobby at 11:15 am on Sundays. Join us and invite a friend!
Adult Acts Class: The Adult Acts class is studying the book “Refresh Your Prayers: Uncommon Devotions to Restore Power and Praise” by Lori Hatcher. Book is available on Amazon or other book retailers. All are welcome to join the class. Vicki Evans is the leader of this class. Adult Acts Class meets every Sunday at 11:15am in the back room at the church.

Details to be emailed.
Current Sermon Series: Be Still My Soul Peace is a fleeting and hard-to-find gift from God in our complicated world. But God desires that we experience the fullness of the peace he seeks to give his children. Angels so often greeted people with peace when they arrived with a message from the Lord. Nearly every time the resurrected Jesus appeared to his disciples, he greeted them with peace. In this series we’ll hear what the Bible has to say about the lasting peace God wants to give us and learn how to pray for it faithfully. This series is running from June 1st—July 20th . Join us and invite friends to experience REAL Peace this summer!

12th Annual Susan Jenkins Memorial Peace for Pearland Golf Tournament planned! Mark your calendars now for this great annual outreach, mission, and stewardship event! The tournament will be on Friday, October 3rd, 9 a.m. start at the Pearland Golf Club at Country Place. As always, EVERYONE in the church is needed to help in SOME way. Pastor Scott will be sharing lots of ways to help over the next few months. Right now, however, we need to organize the Golf Tournament Leadership Team. This is the group of folks (3-5 people) who will assist in making decisions about things like the cost of registration, what prizes to seek, what lunch options to choose, etc. This group typically meets about once a month or so until the tournament occurs. Please let Pastor Scott know if you can be on that team.
