COMMUNITY GROUPS
AUG. 1—DANIEL @ 9:15
We live in a time and place where you, as a Christian, may feel like an exile.  In the book of Daniel we see the nation of Israel has been exiled, yet some young men successfully navigated significant pressure to turn their backs on God. Come join us for this 16-week study through the book of Daniel to see how they responded.  In this study, you will be challenged to let the Gospel strengthen your resolve to stand up for Christ with expectant hope for His glorious return.                                                                     
 
AUG. 8—ROOTED IN CARE @ 10:45
Would you like more information about becoming a member at EFree? Join us for a 3 week membership class starting August 8 at 10:45 in room 410.

 Come and learn with us in LAUNCH - 9:15 am in room 410 or in the O.W.L.S Class - 10:45 in room 409

Confronting Christianity
Religion’s decline in the modern world turns out to be a myth. Christianity is the most widespread global belief system and promises to remain so well into the future. But for many educated westerners, biblical Christianity is a dangerous idea―challenging some of their deepest beliefs.                 
                                                                                                                                                    
Channeling state-of-the-art research, personal stories, and careful biblical study, Confronting Christianity explores 12 questions that keep many of us from considering faith in Christ. Look more closely, McLaughlin argues, and the reality of suffering, the complexity of sexuality, the desire for diversity, the success of science, and other seeming roadblocks to faith become signposts. Jesus becomes not a relic from the ancient world, but our modern world’s best hope. Pick up your copy at the Life Tree Resource Center in the lobby.

SERVING OPPORTUNITIES
Have you been looking for a way to serve on Sunday?  Some of the easiest ways to volunteer here at Findlay E-Free involve serving our church family and guests.  Every believer has been given at least one spiritual gift to be used to build up the family of God.  Using your gifts to serve Christ and others is a great way to grow in your relationship with God.  When you give of your time and talents to serve in God’s Kingdom, others will be blessed and so will you! 
 
Here’s a list of ways to serve:

  • Chair Crew – Set up chairs roughly once a month at 8:00 am or tear down chairs after 2nd service.
  • Greeter – Welcome our guests and church family on Sunday mornings during 1st or 2nd service.  Serve roughly once a month.  A great way to get plugged in!
  • Connection Center Host – Arrive before each service begins and welcome our guests and answer any questions they may have.
  • Worship Ministry – There are many different ways to serve:  band, vocals, media, lights, sound and video.  See Pastor Stephen for more details.
  • Children’s Ministry – Our goal at Treehouse Kids is to make Sunday the best day of our kids’ week!  We want every child who comes through our doors to feel loved, come to know Jesus, and find a place where they can grow through fun and life-changing experiences.  For more information, see Pastor Doug or Luann Lee.
  • Youth Ministry – This is a great opportunity to be a Small Group Leader to the youth in our church.  See Pastor Scott for the volunteer opportunities available.
  • Brew Crew - Help once a month to make coffee before the service for our church family.
