A Personal Message from Pastor Steve Lambert
Welcome to the Fall 2009 version of Connecting Points. This is our opportunity to Connect to Each Other by meeting with one another for the purpose of building one another up. Acts 2:42-47 “They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.” I hope that you will look through this fall's version and find places that you can “Connect” with God, with each other, and places for you to Connect to the community. Let me say thank you to everyone who is leading Connecting Point and to everyone who has anything to do with leading and organizing this vital ministry of First Assembly of God. May God Bless each of you!

Faith In the Times of Trouble Ages: Adult Leader: Dennis Barnes Location: Small Chapel Cost: Everything you have. Synopsis: Many Christians today would define faith as "belief in the existence of God". Faith has to do with one's relationship to God--whether one trusted in God.
