THE BIBLE 30-DAY EXPERIENCE IS HERE
During the five Sundays of March, in combination with The History Channel, we’ll explore The
Bible, starting with the creation of man and ending with the revelation of a new world.
We’ll start each week with Pastor Chris’ sermon.
Next we will each watch the History Channel’s
miniseries The Bible. The Bible miniseries Parts
1 & 2 will commence at 8pm on Sunday night,
March 3rd on the History Channel. It will be repeated on Monday, March 4th on Lifetime TV and
again on the History Channel on Wednesday,
March 6th. New parts will be aired weekly for
the next five weeks. If you don’t get the History
Channel at home, we will have Viewing Parties;
one at the parsonage on Monday evenings, and
one at the Catanzariti’s home on Thursday evenings.
Third, we can dig deeper with the Guidebook and
Study Guide, either individually or in a Small
Group setting. There are several Small Groups to
choose from.
The five-week study for individuals and small
groups is based on some of the epic stories of the
Bible, with an emphasis on God’s plan of redemption for mankind through Jesus Christ.
Sign up to join a Small Group or attend a Viewing
Party. Use these five weeks of study to enrich
your Lenten season and celebrate Easter with
new understanding.
Thank you for your recent donations of cleaning
supplies for the Disaster Relief Buckets. Your generous donations enabled us to deliver and provide
39 Relief buckets in response to Super Storm
Sandy’s aftermath. With your compassion and benevolence we are able to help by providing
care for the most vulnerable people during times of
crisis. We continue to stay in contact with
our local partners throughout the State to supply
any additional aid and provide replenishment for the
depleted supplies in the wake of disasters. Thank
you for being a part of this Ministry!
Mathew 5:16: In the same way let your good deeds
shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise
your heavenly Father.
On behalf of the Fishes and Loaves Pantry at the 1st
Moravian Church of Riverside, the official Food
Pantry of the Triple-Town Ministerium:
Thank you for your continuous food donations to the
Fishes and Loaves Pantry. The food that you have
provided has enabled the support and feeding of
approximately 70 families on a continuous basis.
With recent cutbacks in State aid, our Congregation
stepped up to the plate to feed those less fortunate.
“One mouth, one soup can at a time, times all of
you = well fed children”
The light of Jesus is truly shining through your commitment, generosity, and compassion for this Ministry.
Isaiah 58:10: Feed the hungry, and help those in
trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright
as noon.
