"Why is the world so messed up? Why does God let bad things happen to good people? If we all use the same Bible, why are there so many different denominations? What about evolution - isn't it a proven scientific fact? What can we know about the end times? What about issues like Infant Baptism, Divorce, Homosexuality, Abortion? Does God still speak to us today? Is His Word reliable? Is it relevant for a new millennium?” If these are questions that you have asked, mark your calendar now for a most exciting course in Christian growth. Fit For Life is a 12 week course that presents the Word of God in new and meaningful ways. It is a course for those who are interested in membership in our church, or for anyone who wants to know what it really means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. You owe it to yourself and your life with God to register and bring a friend to this faith-building opportunity! A sign-up sheet will be found on a table in the Parish Hall, or you may call the office at 989-366-5164 to register.

If we all use the same Bible, why are there so many different denominations? What about evolution - isn't it a proven scientific fact? What can we know about the end times? What about issues like Infant Baptism, Divorce, Homosexuality, Abortion? Does God still speak to us today? Is His Word reliable? Is it relevant for a new millennium?” If these are questions that you have asked, mark your calendar now for a most exciting course in Christian growth. Fit For Life is a 12 week course that presents the Word of God in new and meaningful ways. It is a course for those who are interested in membership in our church, or for anyone who wants to know what it really means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. You owe it to yourself and your life with God to register and bring a friend to this faith-building opportunity!
