There has already been some interest in doing a Christian classics class for our young people and/or homeschool community. If that's something you might be interested in this fall, let him know.
Pastor Matt has just posted a Christian classics reading list over on his website. If you are looking for some summer reading material, or are just looking for something edifying to work through, you might want to check it out.
There has already been some interest in doing a Christian classics class for our young people and/or homeschool community. If that's something you might be interested in this fall, let him know. A couple of guys have recently begun meeting for the purpose of making some concerted efforts to spread the gospel. There are a number of plans being made, including some evangelism training classes. One item on the agenda involves distributing some gospel literature at the Ashland Balloonfest (June 27-29). More information will be coming out over the next few weeks as to a specific date & time. Right now, the plans are to meet at Matt Timmons' house (located just down the street from the Balloonfest venue) to pray and get organized. The group will then walk down and begin to hand out some gospel oriented materials that have been prepared. It shouldn't take long, as our materials are limited at this time. So, after our distribution, we can have some fun together enjoying the Balloonfest activities. Anyone may participate in this event, and we would love to have you and your family join in the outing. Just send us an email to let us know that you want to be kept informed of the details as they develop. We've mentioned before that we would be dusting off our old listenings and bringing them into the 21st century. Now they've arrived! Our first installment brings you two CD series that will help you redeem the time as you commute to and from work. R.C. Sproul's series Dust to Glory will walk you through the New Testament and introduce you to things like the miracles of Jesus, the expansion of the church, and the book of Revelation We've also put Doug Wilson's Introduction to Church History on the fast track. We at Providence Church think it is important to consider what God has done in and through His church over its history. We've noted elsewhere that this historical heritage is one of the distinct features of our church. These 6 lectures will give you a helicopter's view of what has happened since the time of the apostles. You will learn the significance of the early church councils, meet the men of the Reformation, and see how the church developed on the shores of America. You will be sure to gain much as you look at the church's battles, growth, and challenges. Are you new to home education? Do you know someone who is interested in homeschooling next year? Great! Plans are being made for an Introduction to Home Education Seminar to help new/prospective homeschoolers get acquainted with the whole process. Please let us know if you are interested in attending so that we can include you in future announcements! Email us! As many of our families are seeking to pass on a godly heritage to their children through home education, we wanted to make sure this announcement got out: There is a Classical Conversation's informational meeting scheduled for Tuesday, May 28, 2013 (7-9 PM). For more information see their flyer here. Classical Conversations is a national classical and Christian homeschooling program seeking to empower parents. Classical Conversations meets once a week, providing weekly accountability, encouragement, and structure that supplement and support what is being taught at home. On a weekly basis, we offer Foundations (ages 4-12), Essentials (grades 3-6), and Challenge (grades 7-12) programs in local communities. Find out how Classical Conversations can help you redeem your own education so that you can do the hard, but rewarding work of teaching your own children. Providence has implemented an initiative to bring our audio library into the 21st century. We are in the process of transferring our superb selection of audio tapes over to CD / MP3. It is our hope that we can juice up your commute to & from work or make your exercise regiment spiritually profitable. These resources have been highly profitable in the past for grounding the saints in the truth, and we want them to continue to be profitable for our members. The first installment to come available is R.C. Sproul's insightful series Dust to Glory. These studies provide you with a panoramic view of the Bible's story; from the creation of Adam out of the dust to the glorious consummation of Christ's Kingdom at the end of time. These studies are designed to help you understand the flow of the Scripture story. You will explore the major themes, events, and people of the Bible, which will in turn help you read and apply the truth of Scripture on your own. To often Christians have a disjointed view of the Bible. Instead of seeing the unfolding drama and the overarching narrative, the Bible is a jumble of tales that occurred "long ago and far away." Such a view not only damages the beauty of Scripture, it hinders us from benefiting from the full teaching Scripture has to offer. Through each of these 20 minute messages you will gain encouragement and a comprehensive mastery of Scripture. Dust to Glory will be on the shelves soon! Look for it, and many other stimulating teachings, in the black shelves at the back of the church. |
