New DiscipleU Adult Study begins this Wednesday!
Haven’t been plugged into midweek discipleship? This Wednesday is a great opportunity to do just that as we launch into one of the most thrilling and formative studies imaginable! The book of Hebrews is among the richest treasures in the New Testament. It lifts our eyes to Jesus as the greater Savior, the greater sacrifice, and the greater hope. Each week of this mid-week study, we’ll walk verse by verse through this powerful letter, discovering how it strengthens our faith, deepens our understanding of Scripture, and equips us to persevere in the Christian life.
Come ready to dig deep into God’s Word, ask questions, and see how Hebrews points us to Christ in every chapter. Don’t miss this opportunity to grow in grace and truth together, beginning this Wednesday at 10:30am (FLC) or 6:30pm (Sanctuary) at North Anderson!

North Anderson Kids (Nursery-5th grade)
We’ve got classes for all kiddos each Wednesday from 6:30-7:30pm. Please make sure your child gets plugged in and has the opportunity to grow in Christ with their friends.

True North Student Ministry (6th-12th grade)
Youth, please stay after the meal this Wednesday as we continue our series "How Did We Get the Bible?." This Wednesday, we'll be answering questions about the reliability of the Bible as God's Word. You won't want to miss this discussion and enjoy time to hang out with friends.

Music Ministry Rehearsal
This Wednesday, rehearsal will begin at 5:45pm (this later start time allows everyone involved a bit more time to eat). We will be presenting, “O Praise The Name” on Sunday morning so please make every effort to be in rehearsal attendance as we put the finishing touches on this great song and perform it with excellence to the glory of God

Corporate Worship 
On Sunday at 10:30am, we’ll gather together in the sanctuary to sing, pray, give, preach, respond to the Word of God, and remember what Christ accomplished on our behalf by observing The Lord’s Supper.

Verse for the week: "Long ago God spoke to our ancestors by the prophets at different times and in different ways. In these last days, he has spoken to us by his Son. God has appointed him heir of all things and made the universe through him" - Hebrews 1:1-2

Prayer Focus This Week: The Turks of Istanbul, Turkey
Istanbul, a vibrant metropolis with an estimated official population of 16.23 million and the potential to grow to 20 million residents, is home to a small percentage of evangelical Christians — around 0.01%. While there are churches and believers present in the city, there’s a significant amount of work remaining to be done so that every person can hear the gospel! Please pray that local believers will display courage and compassion as they share the gospel with their friends and family members. Pray that local churches will desire to establish church-planting efforts in every district of Istanbul, ensuring that the life-changing message of salvation will find its way into every corner of the city.
