Coming Up This Week at 5@5

February 28

Our speaker this week will First Church Pastor, Ron Wyrick. In October of 2009, Ron celebrated six years as pastor at First Church.

Devotion Title: "Why I Pray Even Though God Already Knows What I Need?"

. to learn to listen (Psalm 62:1-2)
· to know God (Ps. 62:8)
· to get outside my own skin (fears, selfishness, anger, pride, greed)
· to truly care for another

"Bruce Almighty" starring Jim Carry was the best movie about prayer that I ever saw. At first Bruce satisfies his every whim, everything from getting through traffic jams to satisfying lust. Gradually he learns why God wants us to pray. Finally he shows viewers what real prayer is like when he puts the needs of his girlfriend above his own.

WAKE UP!!! How to be Vibrant for God!

5@5 on Sunday, February 21 was about Waking up and being vibrant for God. The devotion was titled "Our Spiritual Alarm Clock" and talked about being AWAKE for God.

A- Alive with the spirit.
W- Willing to share your faith in God.
A- Awesome--Tell how awesome and amazing God is.
K- Koinonia--Clear your calendars for Koinonia or fellowship with other Christians
E- Each Other-- Carry burdens for each other and pray for one another.

Thanks to Melissa Rodriguez, Casey Morris and Julie Foster who lead our singing and to Julie for leading the service. Thanks to Derek Young who read the scripture on Sunday.

The best way to spread the word of God as Christians and as a church is to be Vibrant, and to be vibrant we have to be AWAKE! So WAKE UP, and spread the word of God!
