31 Days of Prayer & Fasting ~ October 1 - November 3
Pastor Rick and Robin are calling the Body of Christ to a season of Prayer & Fasting. This will be an intense season of prayer and will be a calling out to God that His will on earth be done. (We will not be focused on the support of a candidate but that the Will of God will be done and that light and righteousness will prevail.)
Please note that fasting is called for but it is a personal choice. Fasting may be a complete OR a partial fast. It can be food or something else you give up for a season of time. For those desiring a deeper scriptural understanding of fasting, Tammy Black is currently teaching a course on Prayer and Fasting on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM in the Prayer Chapel.
Please make your calendar for a very special time of corporate prayer on Sunday, November 1 from 8:00 - 9:00 AM in the Atrium. Those who attend a Life Center class or have worship rehearsal can join us from 8:00 - 8:30 AM.
There is an October Daily Prayer Calendar available at the Welcome Centers or you can click here to download a copy.

Friday Morning Ladies Bible Study with Lois Smith
In the Atrium at 10:00 AM
Lois Smith is working through a new Friday Morning Ladies Bible Study using the book by Beth Moore titled, “Daniel - Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy.” Ladies of all ages are encouraged to join Lois and other ladies in a faith-building study of prophecy and learn how to live with integrity in today's self-absorbed society. The prophet Daniel faced unbelievable pressures to compromise his faith, to live in a hostile culture, and to confront temptations and threats. Today, believers in Jesus Christ face many of the same trials. This is a great study for such a time as this and, ladies, you will want to be a part of this study!
The dates for this study are as follows:
November 6 & 20
December 4 & 18
January 8 & 22.
You can purchase this book online and sign up for this class by sending Lois Smith an email at loisfsmith@hotmail.com or call the Church Office at (717) 359-4675.

We are currently offering a variety of classes that include Five-Fold Ministries, The Power of Praying and Fasting, The Meaning of Marriage, Men's Bible Study, and Moms on the Line. Zeo Youth Ministry and Children's Ministry will continue as normal.
The classes will run every Wednesday night for 12 weeks. Many individuals would like to take more than one of the classes, therefore, we will repeat the classes at the end of the first 12 weeks so that everyone can attend one of the other classes.
If you currently do not attend Wednesday evenings, we encourage you to come out and be a part of one of these Life Groups. You will grow deeper in the Word and make lasting relationships with others in a smaller classroom setting.
All classes begin at 7:00 PM and will conclude by 8:15 PM. Click here for information on each of the classes being offered. Please consider which class you would like to attend. Getting involved in one of these classes would be a great way to kick off being able to gather together again!
We look forward to REACHING OUT, SHARING HOME, KNOWING JESUS, SEEKING TRUTH!
