Assembly of God
Service/Gathering Times: Sunday morning at 10:30 in Clubhouse 3, Room 2; Wednesday morning Bible study is currently on break. The Hymn Sing is held on the fourth Sunday of the month, at 6 p.m. in the Clubhouse 3 Lobby.
Sermon for this week: The end of a year often causes people to evaluate the year just spent. It is difficult to determine success if one has nothing by which to measure. One thing is certain: A person who aims at nothing will surely hit it. Forrest Gump ran for over three years, and then suddenly one day stopped, said he was tired, and turned toward home. Had he finished? Did he stop short? Was there even a point to that run? Pastor Chuck Franco will challenge LW Assembly of God friends and family with his sermon “How to Have a Happy New Year” on the first day of the new year on Sunday, Jan. 1. Live 2023 with intention and purpose, not merely enduring one grim day after another. See and hear what Philippians 3:13-14 has to say to those who desire more than just a survival mode existence. Live up to the high calling of being a Christ follower. Establish Godly disciplines in 2023 and finish next December 31 with accomplishment, success, and a more relevant relationship with God than ever before.
Bible Study: The Bible study resumes Jan. 4 with a new series, authored by Max Lucado titled “Fearless.” A child of God is not a slave to fear. So many voices inundate people with messages that create fear, valid or not. This study will be presented through short video lessons and group discussion directed and moderated by Pastor Chuck. People should bring their Bibles and get ready to discover what the Bible has to say 366 times about fear.
