ESPECIALLY FOR OUR GUESTS

We are glad to have you worship with us today. You

are worshiping with people who experience the

same difficulties of life as you. We have nothing to

boast about except the God we worship. Please relax

and focus upon the Lord Jesus who loves you and

desires for you to follow Him. While God has surely

led you here, you likely still have a number of im-

portant questions about us; how to get more involved and connected in

meaningful relationships, or about your own personal or spiritual needs.

If so, please allow us to help you by completing the guest registration

inside the back cover or by coming forward during the invitation time.

—Ronnie W. Rogers

Book Recommendation

What's Best Next, by Matt Perman

Productivity isn't just about getting more things done. It's about getting the

right things done. In our current era of massive overload, this is harder than

ever before. How do you get more of the right things done without confus-

ing mere activity for actual productivity? When we take God's purposes

into account, a revolutionary insight emerges, and we see that the way to be

productive is to make the welfare of other people our motive and criteria in

determining what to do (what's best next). As the Scriptures and the best

business thinkers show, generosity is the key to unlocking our productivity,

and to finding meaning and fulfillment in our work. What’s Best Next of-

fers a practical approach for improving your productivity in all areas of life.

It will help you better understand: why good works are not just rare and

special things, but anything you do in faith; how to create a mission state-

ment for your life that actually works; how to delegate to people in a way

that empowers them; how to overcome time killers by turning them around

and making them work for you; how to process workflow efficiently and

get your email inbox to zero every day; how your work and life can trans-

form the world socially, economically, and spiritually, and connect to God's

global purposes. What's Best Next will give you a practical approach for

increasing your effectiveness in everything you do.
