From Your Pastor, March 2010
Feb 24th, 2010
Dear Family,
The most important celebration of the Christian Church is almost upon us, the Death, Burial and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Our prayer for you is that you will seek the face of God during these next weeks and draw closer to the Savior who died for you and gave you eternal life. Jeremiah said in 29:12-13, “Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.” So, as you prepare for the Easter season, pray that you will see the love of God as He has presented it through His only begotten Son on an old rugged cross. Also reflect about how the Resurrection has changed your life and as a result of that one act of God what you will do with your life from this time forward. Will you stay the same? Or will you challenge yourself to move forward for the Lord Jesus as a new person with a new vision for God?
As we think of these things, I want to lead us on a “Journey to Calvary.” It will take 5 weeks to get there and we will end it overlooking Jerusalem hearing Jesus cry out with tears, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.”(Luke 19:42)
On Easter Sunday morning we will then begin a series on the “Resurrection”, “Ascension” and “The Gift of the Holy Spirit.” My personal prayer during these weeks is that God will touch your heart with His love and grace so that your life will be forever changed.
Pray for me and the church beloved!
Bill

Small Groups will start February 14th at 6pm. Please call 864-225-2575 or email church@northandersonbaptist.com to sign up. All are welcome. Please invite a friend. Our groups this semester are:
Adult 12 Week Study:
- Men’s Fraternity - Men’s Fraternity provides men with an encouraging process that teaches them how to live lives of authentic manhood as modeled by Jesus Christ and directed by the Word of God. Men’s Fraternity was designed to help men come together and strengthen each other through weekly sessions that combine biblical teaching and small group interaction. (also on Fridays at 6am)
- Women’s Bible Study: Esther – Beth Moore looks at the Old Testament story of Esther as a profile in courage that contains many modern parallels for today’s woman. Going up against heavyweights bent on her destruction, Esther trusted God and landed a blow that saved her people. Esther’s destiny can be yours as you know more deeply the God who is in your corner.
- Boundaries with Kids – Boundaries with Kids by Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend, addresses the critical issues involved in learning when to say Yes and when to say No to help your children gain control of their lives.
- Evangelism – What are some evangelistic strategies to use today? This class will help you learn some strategies and then apply these strategies.
Adult 6 Week Study:
- Men’s Bible Study – There will be 2 studies; the first 6 weeks, Ecclesiastes, and the last 6 weeks , James. Choose one or the other or both. These studies are designed to increase your understanding of God’s Word and equip you to serve Him more effectively.
- Cooking Class – This six week class will teach the basics of cooking. It is limited to the first 10 who sign up due to space. $10 supply fee.
- Forged by Faith – This study will take place the first 6 weeks in the sanctuary. Why are we Baptist? Who are we? Experience how committed individuals combined their efforts, talents and ministries to forge the Southern Baptist Convention.
- Sanctuary Bible Study – This study will take place the second 6 weeks. Come and be part of this Bible study in the sanctuary.
- Fireproof Your Marriage – This study will be held the first 6 weeks. It will feature clips from the Fireproof movie. This study will challenge couples to work through relational issues and to look at love as a lifetime commitment.
- Extraordinary Marriage – This course will be held the last 6 weeks. This course will challenge couples to never again settle for an ordinary relationship. It will offer a step by step plan for couples to evaluate their own marriage and work toward that vision of an extraordinary marriage.
Children & Youth Study
- Nursery – The nursery is available to all parents who are participating in Sunday Night Bible Study. Rest assured that your baby or toddler will be taken care of by our workers.
- Cherub Choir – Cherub Choir is for the “little angels” of the church – ages 3-6. This may be the first ministry for your child and a very exciting one for them at that! The little ones learn to sing praises to our God and also learn Scripture and Biblical principals while having lots of fun. The group meets on Sunday evenings from 6-7pm.
- Children’s G-Force – G-Force is a fun-filled Bible study for elementary aged children. It is fast moving, but allows each child to encounter God personally each week in a dynamic, interactive, high-tech environment. The fun, interactive cards help kids carry home the lessons they learn.
- Youth Bible Study – Sunday nights mean Man-time for our young men and Girl-time for our young women. It is a fun and intimate time of Bible study and a time of talking about life. It is facilitated by college-age adults and adults who love pouring into the youth. The idea is to further develop a community of young men and women who seek God together and spur one another on towards love and good deeds – to become more and more anchored in Christ through unity in the body.
