Wednesday Nights this Spring!
Starting April 30 with a New Start Time at 6:30 pm 
Message from Keegan Lenker
Pastor of Intergenerational Discipleship
The hope of PazNaz is that people experience God's transforming power. This power comes through connecting with others who are seeking to be discovered and transformed by God. Some people are new, and will be searching to learn more. Others are struggling, and will need a relationship to remind them that there is still hope. And still others come because it serves as a reminder to them of the importance of sharing life together. This Spring, classes are available to further your connection with the Body of Christ, where stories of transformation are made possible.
Women's Ministries: Girlfriend to Girlfriend
This spring Women's Ministries will engage in a study of the book, The Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life, by Rick Warren, led by Debbie Daniels.Through this series you will better understand how to take care of your body as the temple of God. Each week we will focus on a different aspect of the Daniel Plan... Faith, Food, Fitness, Focus, and Friends. Invite your girlfriends or come alone and meet new girlfriends! The cost is $20 for the book and scholarships are available. There are also free Children's Ministries activities available for every age group.
