Assembly of God

Missionary Rev. Dr. Marla Campbell will speak at LW Assembly of God on Sunday, Feb. 11, at 10:30 a.m. She has been an educator her entire adult life, most recently at Biola University, where she worked before becoming a full-time missionary in Europe. Among her many assignments, Campbell leads the Prayer Initiative, develops curriculum and trains new missionaries stateside, and ministers to missionaries on the field experiencing fatigue and burnout as they labor to bring light to the darkness.

The Wednesday Bible study group will watch session three of “The Book of Mark” series, a study by Francis Chan, covering chapters 2:1-3:6. When Jesus arrives in Capernaum, so many people crowd around to hear him teach that a group of men heads to the roof, breaks a hole through it and lowers their friend down so Jesus can heal him. As Jesus’ reputation expands, the hyperreligious pharisees begin to confront and defame him, seeking to get rid of him, and Jesus calls Matthew, the tax collector, to be a disciple. Chan is a compelling pastor, author and teacher. The video is followed by interactive discussion, led by Pastor Chuck Franco. Leisure World Assembly of God meets Sundays at 10:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. The Wednesday Bible study is at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. The Hymn Sing is held on the fourth Sunday night of each month at 6 p.m. in the Clubhouse 3 Lobby.
