Now That I Believe The worship theme from mid-August through May, 2011 will be "Now That I Believe." The basic idea is that believing in Christ calls for certain actions, certain changes, and certain commitments. On Wednesday evenings, beginning September 1, we will offer a five-week seminar on writing your own faith statement about the difference that believing in Christ makes in your life. The class will meet at 6:15 p.m. in the conference room and will be led by Dr. Randy Richardson, Merrill Davies, and Martha Heneisen.
