God created all that exists and wrote the laws which govern our universe, which gives him the right to temporarily suspend these rules as well. This is, by definition, a miracle; a surprising event that is inexplicable by natural or scientific laws and is, therefore, considered to be the work of direct divine agency. The biblical gospels record Jesus as a miracle worker, demonstrating his power over nature, sickness and disease, demons, even death itself. Join us in this series as we discuss the nature and purpose of miracles, and our response to this aspect of Jesus’ ministry. May we join in this response of the crowds: “Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, ‘We have seen remarkable things today.’” (Luke 5:26)

Finding Hope is a support group for loved ones of addicts. Everyone is welcome to attend! It is an ongoing program, so it is open to new attendees each meeting. If you know of anyone that is in need of a support group like this, please pass this information along. Meetings are held the second and fourth Wednesday of the month from 6:30-8:00 PM in The Kirk Library. If you have any questions regarding Finding Hope, contact Jera Holder.

This class is not just for current or future elders and deacons, but those interested in any serving or leadership role in the church (committees, connect or life group leaders, family ministry leaders, etc.) This class takes you beyond the essentials covered in the membership class into a deeper understand of the history and theology of the Reformed tradition. This class will be valuable for anyone wanting a better grasp of the distinct beliefs and practices of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. This class runs for 6 weeks on Wednesday nights at 6pm starting April 17 and childcare is available. To register for the class, click here.
