The Names of God
 October 2019

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The  Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.

Alpha Vision / Information Gathering 

Saturday, October 26th @9am

Alpha is coming to Houston’s First! But...What is Alpha? Alpha is a series of sessions (often hosted in someone’s home) exploring the Christian faith, typically run over eleven weeks. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. There are three core components to every Alpha group:
good food, short focused talk on a topic related to Christ, followed by a discussion regarding the short talk. Our church sees Alpha groups as a great tool to connect with our “Ones” whom we have been praying for over the past several months. We will be hosting a vision /informational gathering on Alpha Groups on Saturday, October 26th.  The informational gathering will be followed by a short training session for those interested in starting / leading their own Alpha group. More information about the Saturday meeting will follow.

Our Class Scripture Memory Verse 

for the Month of October:

Matthew 7:7

This past Sunday, our lesson was taught by Dr. Bruce Fong, Dean of Dallas Theological Seminary Houston Campus.  

The lesson was from 
1 Thessalonians 5:12-14 and reminded us how important it is to actively encourage our Church leadership. This lesson also pointed out as a body of believers, we need to assist others in finding ways to use their Spiritual Gifts in service.  We are blessed to have Bruce and his wife Yvonne as members of our Biblical Foundations class.
