Assembly of God

Sometimes the greatest gift is the unexpected, out-of-theblue, small gesture that comes at just the right moment. A kind word, a door held open, a parcel carried, while not difficult actions to perform, inspire gratitude in the recipient of such consideration.

Ephesians 2:8 speaks about the grace God has extended to people by offering salvation as his gift, with no strings attached, except that one believes. Many try to add restrictions, performance standards or evaluation for worthiness to God’s offer, but nothing in God’s word, what He actually spoke and intended, gives credence to those people. Pastor Chuck Franco will share a message titled “Appreciating Grace” at the Sunday morning service on April 14.

The Wednesday Bible study group begins a new series, “The Grave Robber,” by Mark Batterson. The subtitle of this series is “How Jesus Can Make Your Impossible Possible.” This study is a video series by pastor, teacher and author Batterson, who will guide students in examining the seven miraculous signs Jesus performed in the book of John. It leads students through the actual sites where they occurred. The short video teaching is followed by discussion of the material and further teaching by Pastor Chuck.

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. Hymn Sing is held the fourth Sunday of the month, at 6 p.m. in the Clubhouse 3 Lobby.
