Adult Discipleship
Ba@ling Complacency
In the Minor Prophets study just completed by
the Tuesday Night Bible Study Group we were
reminded of the following:
“The key to knowing God is to con/nually seek
Him. The chief danger in this quest is the
tempta/on to be sa/sfied with past encounters so
that no fresh pursuits are made. Complacency is the
enemy of spiritual growth.”
If you are feeling complacent in your spiritual
growth and looking for a place to plug in with a group of folks that are waging war against
spiritual complacency the Tuesday Night group would love to have you join them. They will be
starng an eight week study on May 24th by Andy Stanley entled Star/ng Point that is
described by the publisher as follows:
Everything has a star/ng point - your life, your rela/onships, your educa/on, your career.
Some/mes we forget that faith has a star/ng point as well. For some of us, our faith journeys
began in childhood as a set of beliefs handed to us by a parent, teacher, or pastor. Maybe you
developed a framework of faith based on personal experience. Or maybe you had no faith at all.
Too o:en, a faith formed in childhood isn't strong enough to withstand the pressures of adult
life.
But what if you could find a new star/ng point for faith?
Welcome to Star/ng Point – an 8-session small group conversa/on about faith. Whether you're
new to faith, curious about God, or coming back to church a:er some /me away, it's a place
where your opinions and beliefs are valued, and no ques/on is off limits.
During the eight sessions, you will:
Use this Star/ng Point Conversa/on Guide to reflect on central ques/ons of faith and life.
Watch the video component each week in prepara/on or as part of the discussion.
Explore and share what you're learning with other people in a conversa/onal
environment.
Come as you are and build rela/onships with others as you discover your star/ng point.
We meet at Heritage from 7:00 – 8:30 PM on Tuesday nights. Contact John Hall with quesons
tel 913-897-3179 or [email protected] or to order a book (cost approximately $10).
For a light

from 12:30-2:00

woman's unique perspecve, yet ghtly grounded in the Gospel accounts and faithful to
first-century history. Elegantly wriJen and profoundly srring, this book blends creave

Water Bo@le Ministry 2016 Year 4 of Neighborhood Outreach
The Water BoJle Outreach ministry impacts and reaches those neighbors
who are perhaps glad for a bit of water and inspiraon during their
exercise oung. The target dates for this years ministry are Monday,
May 30 thru Monday, Sept 5.
To make the outreach work best, we need around 30 volunteers who will
come a total of three days (one per month) to help round out the pro-
gram for the summer. Based on prior years’ experience this would involve no more than a couple
dozen boJles of water and a bag of ice each me you have duty. The water and ice can be provided by
you or raided from supplies that will be stored inside the church. Making your visit early in the day
would be best, but other opons could be workable.
Please contact DJ HaJon at [email protected] or call 913-649-5145 if you want to be one of the
invisible angels parcipang in this outreach program. Please express interest by Friday, May 27 so we
can arrange the calendar. A completed calendar will be available and posted for the ministry
volunteers for any trading or conflicts.
Childcare is available in Room 115 for children ages 3
and younger. Children are welcome in the nursery at
any me during any of the worship services. Our staff
is trained to care for your child. Our nursery offers
fun, educaonal toys and acvies that will appeal to
all ages, birth - three years. Parents are asked to sign
children in before leaving for worship and provide a
cell number.
Prayer request cards are available in the pew racks.
You may share your requests confidenally with
church staff or be prayed for through our prayer
ministry.
