Strange Things at the Woodlands

Faith Connection

This Sunday in the Worship Center we continue looking at the Good Life.  The prophet Jeremiah told the people of Judah to ask where the good way is, they were headed for a terrible disaster, Jeremiah's job was to warn them.  We saw last week that right priorities lead to the Good Life, this week we will discover that right thinking leads to the Good Life, hope you can join us this Sunday.  Jeff has planned a very special Communion service for us tonight.  The Praise Team,Karen Bradberry, responsive reading and congregational singing will all blend together for a special worship experience.  Join us at 6 PM this evening in the Worship Center. Join us for a live webcast in the fellowship room following the evening service.   This 90 minute program is a response to recent events in Houston Texas.   Recently in Houston Texas several Houston Pastors were contacted by their local government to hand over church documents.  This webcast will encourage us to focus on the freedom to live out our faith free from government intervention or monitoring. FALL INTO FUN       This past Sunday we had our fall outreach at Faith. We had a great turnout as between 400-500 people visited our church property.  We gave out all of our food, candy and gifts.  It was a great event, I want to thank Kathleen All and her great team of volunteers for a great event.   Many people from the community came by and expressed their appreciation for this event.  Please pray that we can see some of the unchurched  visit soon at Faith.

There are no verse references, and Scripture segments are seamlessly woven together with transition text into a single grand narrative. For those intimidated or overwhelmed by the unabridged Bible, The Story helps people understand God’s Word more fully and engage with it more easily. Simple, accessible, and easy to use, churches are finding The Story a powerful way to engage their people in Bible reading like never before. As The Story brings the Bible to life, the broad scope of God’s message will penetrate hearts. People of all ages will be swept up in the story of God’s love and God’s plan for their lives. The Story is not designed to replace your personal Bible but to supplement your Bible study.  It is a great tool to give you a grand overview of the scripture.  We are encouraging you to read along with us as we journey through the entire Bible.  (LifeWay Christian bookstores have The Story on sale for $5.00, we will also provide a sign up sheet at the Welcome Center if you would like to order through the church.)

FALL INTO FUN       This Sunday night from 6-8 PM Please pray for this special outreach of our church.  Every year we have hundreds of people visit our church campus, many of them for the first time.  What can you do?  You can pray, attend, invite, volunteer to help out.  Hope to see you this Sunday night.

"Never have so many had so much and been so miserable about it."--copied We are frantically trying to find something that will make us happy.  We are trying to find the good life.  Yet it seems the more we try the further away the good life appears to be, we wonder if the good life is even possible.  The prophet Jeremiah was speaking to people just like us, with dreams and aspirations, yet still searching.  But they were searching in all the wrong places. Join us this Sunday morning as we look into Jeremiah 6 for God's recipe for the good life.  Hope you can join us in either service. (9 AM and 10:30 AM) 16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.
