MISSION FUNDRAISERS
Proceeds from the following events, Valentines Concert, Passover Meal, Garage Sale and Golf Scramble benefit Beltway Parks Summer Mission teams traveling all over the world in 2013.

Valentines Dinner & Concert Featuring Denver & the Mile High Orchestra
Saturday / February 16 @ 6:30pm / Beltway Park
Plan now for an evening of dinner and music for a Belated Valentines! Tickets go on sale Sunday, January 13. Denver Bierman and his band of musicians (all Belmont University students), the Mile High Orchestra put together an act that would take them literally to the ends of the earth. Blending a red hot horn section, along with jazz and big band roots, Denver and the Mile High Orchestra have created a sound that is unlike any other. They wowed all of America, as they made the finale of the FOX-TV American Idol spin off The Next Great American Band. While DMHO has been compared to many, the music defies a genre. Smooth vocals combine with a wall of sound that calls up the images of blues, funk and soul. What can be defined is a contemporary pop sensibility with a nod to the great horn bands of the past. Over 10 years the band has evolved and explored many different musical avenues, but one thing that has and will remain unchanged is an unswerving devotion to Jesus Christ which is transparent in their music. Having a career in the music business comes and goes, said Denver. The hope we find in our faith is for an eternity.

Passover Meal

March 27 @ 6:00pm
Easter is not a biblical holiday, but Passover is. Jesus was crucified at Passover. Want to find out more? Plan to attend the Passover Meal on March 27. Tickets go on sale in March.

LIFE GROUPS

What is a Life Group?

Real life change rarely occurs in isolation. Thats why at Beltway you hear a lot about getting together in small groups. Gathering literally all over Abilene and the Big County, people from every stage of life meet in homes to follow Jesus more closely. You might not think that engaging truth or ministering to one another could be so informal yet be so intensely rewarding. Simple. Spiritual. Encouraging. Life Transforming. To learn more about our Life Group ministry, search online at beltway.org/lifegroups, or speak to one of our Life Group pastors.

FREEDOM MINISTRIES
Freedom is the ability to respond fully to God out of who He created you to be. This is only possible through the complete and redemptive work of Jesus through the cross and resurrection. Beltway Freedom Ministry is designed to help you become the person you were created to be. We want to encourage you to grow in Christ and teach you how to be an influence in the lives of others. Whether you struggle with personal obstacles or simply want more of God to strengthen and nurture your discipleship and growth in Christ, Freedom Ministry has a place for you.

To get started, attend and complete the Freedom track as follows:

Freedom in Christ (Equipping Track 1)

Sundays @ 9:45am / Beginning January 13 Freedom Ministry Team This class is designed as an in-depth study of the war we face as believers in Christ. Join us as we search the Word of God to learn what every believer in Christ needs to know about spiritual warfare, freedom, our true identity, God and the invisible battle.

Freedom Tools Training (Equipping Track 2)

Pre-requisite: Freedom in Christ Class Sundays @ 11:25am / Beginning January 13 Freedom Ministry Team What do you say to someone who is hurting? Kingdom business includes confessing our sins to one another, bringing dark things into the light and praying for restoration, but most people feel ill-equipped, even in close relationships, to help others draw closer to God. Freedom Tools offers an easy-to-

follow process that shows how you can make a difference. Inner pain is often inescapable, but healing and wholeness are possible. These proven tools will give you the confidence and healing you need personally as well as equipping you to give away to others.

The mission of Kids club @ the Park is to provide a faith-based program ensuring a safe environment for the children in our community with programs that emphasize education, the arts, fitness and character building activities.

Staff:
Kids Club @ the Park staff consists of various high-school and university students from the Abilene area, who are also leaders in our community. Each individual staff member contributes their own unique gifts and talents to our many programs. With our ratio at 1-14, our staff can effectively render the environment in which your child will grow, laugh, learn and have fun. Most importantly, however, your child will be loved and cared for. From the moment your child steps off the bus, he/she will be greeted by name and with a smile. (All staff have undergone criminal background checks to ensure the safety of each child in our program.)
