Can you really understand prophecy?
Does the turmoil in our times, the uprisings and the spiritual decay of many have anything to do with the Book of Daniel? Daniel was a man who knew what God said about the end times. He focused on what God said, not the events of his own time. Therefore, he had an impact on the people that God placed in his life. How do you live as a Daniel in the crucial days in which you find yourself? How can you dare to be different? How do you get to know God Most High? The book of Daniel has the answers.

On Wednesday night, October 1, PointMAN will begin a new study of Dr. Emerson Eggerichs’ book Love & Respect. We will explore how to better become the man of God we need to be for our wives and families. The life and responsibilities of a man, father and husband are perilous and many stumble along the way. PointMAN is one ministry designed to help. Remember, PointMAN is only for men who aspire to build more successful, well balanced, and healthy Christian relationships. John Holloway will facilitate this group.

Apopka Pregnancy Center
Church Family, the Apopka Pregnancy Center is almost complete!!! The garage has been completely renovated and will house all of the goods that our women and children will need. Right now, we are in much need of diapers and formula. Sizes needed are from newborn to 5, with the most used being sizes 3 and 4. Also, we are in need of various brands of formula. The brands that we have been using are Enfamil, Similac, and Good Start. The powdered version in the cans are preferable. If you can provide any of these items, we would greatly appreciate it. You can leave them in the foyer, adult education building, church office or pre-school welcome desk. Thank you in advance for all of your love and support!! God Bless!
