This Weeks Activities:

The Challenge of the Week:
This semster I will be giving you all weekly challenges. The point of these challenges are to help you to grow spiritually. The challenges are not only for that specific week. They are meant to be met & built upon. I hope that you will take the opportunity to see these through.

Week 1: Find a verse in the Bible that will help you bite your tongue when you really want to make that mean, sarcastic remark & memorize it.
Week 2: Go to a devo, or work on getting someone in the group to go to a devo.
Week 3: Talk to a friend about your salvation.
Week 4: Talk to a friend about their salvation.
Week 5: Send a card of encouragement to someone in the congregation (even if you don't know them very well.)
Week 6: Tell someone you are praying for them & pray daily for that person.
Week 7: Have lunch with someone from Herd4Christ you don't normally spend time with.
Week 8: Encourage someone on Facebook.
Week 9: Clean up your vocabulary. Get rid of one word or phrase that doesn't bring glory to God.
Week 10 & 11: Read the book of James & make one practical application in your life.
Week 12: Invite a friend to church.
Week 13: Invite a friend to Devo.
Week 14: Tell that person in your life "I'm Sorry." You know there is someone.
Week 15: Try to help someone this week & look for an opportunity to share your faith.
Week 16: Write a note to someone who has had an impact on your spiritual life & let them know you appreciate their example.

Wednesday Night Bible Class
(Wednesday, May 2 @ 7pm @ the 26th St. church of Christ)
Bill Taylor is teaching the Wednesday night class this quarter on the topic of "Running With the Giants". Bill is a great teacher & this should be a very interesting class. We'll be discussing the "giants" of faith in the Bible. If you have any questions or need a ride, please contact Chris Roberts at Herd4Christ@Yahoo.com.

Dinner & A Movie Nights
(Thursdays @ 7pm throughout the semester @ the Roberts' Home)
It's pretty self-explanatory. We eat an awesome home-cooked meal & then we watch a really good movie voted on by majority rule. It's a great time to get away, relax & enjoy time among Christian friends. If you need directions, have any questions, or need a ride, contact Chris Roberts at Herd4Christ@Yahoo.com.

Friday Night Devotionals
(Fridays throughout the semester)
We meet every Friday during the semester @ 7pm for our Devos. These consist of a meal, singing, prayer, a lesson from God's Word & a fun activity. The activities range from game nights, bowling & scavenger hunts to weekend work retreats & campouts. If you have any questions, please contact Chris Roberts at Herd4Christ@Yahoo.com.

Sunday Morning Bible Class & Friends Day Worship
(Sunday, May 6 @ 9:45am, 6pm @ the 26th St. church of Christ)
Keith Cole will continue teaching on the topic of 1 Thessalonians. It is one of Paul's inspired letters & is filled with wonderful information for us as Christians. It should be a very interesting class. After class we'll enjoy a time of worship together. I hope you remember to invite your friends because it's Friends Day, & we'll enjoy a fellowship dinner after our time of worship. Don't forget to be back for worship at 6pm. I hope to see you all there. If you need a ride to church, please contact Chris Roberts at Herd4Christ@Yahoo.com, so that we can pick you up at the City National Bank parking lot by 9:25am (for morning worship) &/or 5:40pm (for evening worship).

Learn to sing "Lord Be There"
This is a beautiful song & one that I would like us all to learn to sing. It requires four distinct parts (Soprano, Tenor, Alto & Bass). I've included each individual part below. Sing along with the part you wish to learn & we can sing it together at devotionals. To hear what it sounds like with all the parts together, click on it under Volume 2 on the left of your screen.
