Contagious Community Bible Study

Many of us make our way through the early years sharing our lives as we create memories with our friends and families. We’re all familiar with this part of the journey. But then something happens. As marriage, family, career, responsibilities, obligations, and routines move to center stage, authentic and lasting community gets squeezed from the picture.
While it’s true that God has created us for community, it can be difficult to know what it looks like, how it feels, and how to begin building it. Contagious Community: Living Beyond Yourself identifies the crucial elements of true, lasting Christian community. This 13-session study provides the direction and depth necessary to move beyond reality and into a life lived “with one another.”
This study will meet on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm beginning November 4. If you are interested in participating, please fill out this form. For more information, please contact Bob Losee.

Study book cost - $7.50

Youth Fatal Distractions Bible Study to Begin
In today’s pop culture the term “sin” is not very popular.  Instead, we are classified as victims of dysfunction who make “mistakes” and “bad choices.”  From contemporary psychologists to TV talk show hosts, the message we often hear is “I’m okay and you’re okay.”  But, the Bible gives a very different message – we have a serious sin problem that will destroy our lives from the inside out.  The good news is that Christ offers a solution to the battle from within.  We don’t have to be victims.  Instead, He can turn our lives away from these “Fatal Distractions.”
If you are a youth and would like to participate in this study that makes a frontal assault on these seven deadly sins that threaten to destroy our lives, please contact the church office.  We will meet on Thursday evenings beginning on October 1 at 7:00 pm in Mary Prevatt’s home.  For more information, please contact Mary Prevatt. 

First Place Bible Study
A new First Place Bible Study will be held on Monday evenings beginning September 14, 2009.  This Bible study incorporates daily study, weekly meetings, prayer, nutrition, exercise, fellowship and support.  Approximately 30 minutes of exercise will be offered at 6:15 pm.  This will be followed by Bible study.  To sign up for this study, please contact the church office.  For more information, please contact Anita Gogola.

September 2009 Prayer Calendar from New Hope Pregnancy Center

The new prayer calendar for the month of September from the New Hope Pregnancy Center is now available on the New Beginnings page.

Reminder: special worship schedule this Sunday

Just a reminder that this week we have a special worship schedule.

Our primary worship service for Sunday, August 30, 2009 will be at 7:00pm for FOCUS oh-nine.

FOCUS will be similar to our regular weekly worship services but will feature guest speaker Owen Barrow from Apex UMC and a double serving of music for worship.

FOCUS will be a night of worship
where we'll focus ourselves and our lives
on worshiping our God.

You won't want to miss it, and remember to bring a friend!

We will have morning services at our regularly scheduled times:
9:30am & 11:00am.
These services will be prayer services.

FOCUS oh-nine

We're kicking off a new annual event this year that we would like for you to be a part of.

The event is called 'FOCUS' and as this is 2009 we are calling it 'FOCUS oh-nine'.

The event will be held at Christ Community (1082 Amelia Church Rd; Clayton, NC)
the night of August 30th at 7:00pm.

FOCUS is

a high-energy, high-powered night of worship
where we'll focus ourselves and our lives on worshiping our God.

a night where we'll go beyond the confession of our lips
to worship with our hearts.

a night where we'll abandon ourselves: our methods, our agendas, and our pride
to pursue that which God wants.

a night where we'll fix our attention on God
to live lives of worship.

a night where we'll worship God in spirit and in truth.

a night where we'll be the kind of worshipers
that God seeks and longs for us to be everyday.

Whether you are a part of this church, another church, or the unchurched
this is a chance for us to all get together and glorify our God as the Church.

Come out early for a chance at FREE t-shirts, DVDs & CDs!

We hope to see you there!
