Conference Friday, April 1st, 6:00 - 10:00 p.m.
Saturday, April 2nd, 8:00 - noon
Tickets available in the Commons

Guys, mark April 1 & 2 on your calendar. It is okay to come directly from
work or in work clothes. If you can only come one day and not the other
because of your job, don’t let that stop you. Let’s learn authenticity, reality,
dependability, and consistency as a man in “the battle for godliness.”
Guest Reception
There is a guest reception in the Commons immediately following the
Saturday night and Sunday morning 11:00 a.m. service. Come and meet
Dr. Wicker.
Celebrating 19 years of ministry

sacrificial service!
We love you Pastor and Janet!

If you haven’t participated in the Great Commission
Connection yet, this is a great time to get involved. We
have a new set of missionaries just waiting to hear from
you and feel your prayers. If you are already a participant,
you can either keep the missionaries you currently have,
or exchange your packet for a new set of missionaries. If
you decide to go this route, please bring your old packet
and “Change the World” bank next weekend to make the
exchange.
COUNSELOR TRAINING
Friday, April 1 (6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.)
& Saturday, April 2 (8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.)
In Room WC117
Each year, hundreds of women facing crisis pregnancies enter the doors of Pregnancy
Resource Center of Southwest Florida believing abortion is their only option. They meet
with volunteer counselors who lend a caring ear. The counselors share the truth about
abortion with these women and encourage them to make life-giving decisions by
providing resources to meet their physical needs and support to meet their emotional
needs. Perhaps even more important than encouraging the women to choose life, the
counselors pray and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with these women. Just like the
Samaritan woman in John 4 who came to the well for water to drink and left after having
a life-changing encounter with Jesus, each woman that enters the Pregnancy Resource
Center leaves with the life-changing knowledge of The Living Water of Jesus Christ.
The training will equip you to serve as a pregnancy center peer counselor. You will learn:
• the thoughts and feelings of women in crisis pregnancies.
• caring communication skills.
• how to present information on abortion and information on positive alternatives.
• how to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
If you would like to join us for training, or want more information before you
decide, please call Norma in the Women’s Ministry at 596-8600 x241. Also, for more
information about Pregnancy Resource Center in general, don’t hesistate to visit our
website at www.supportprc.com.
The center is open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. through 5:00 p.m.
They ask volunteers to commit to a four hour shift per week (either 9:30 a.m.-
1:30 p.m. or 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.). They need volunteers in the center and in
the Mobile Unit.

What In the World Is Going On? 10 Prophetic Clues You Cannot Choose To Ignore
Teacher: Mary Ann Tindall Author: Dr. David Jeremiah Tuesday Only
The Bible has much to say about the end times. Yet it is hard to piece together all that information in
a way that gives a comprehensive picture of what that time period will look like. This study will focus
on 10 Bible prophesies and how they relate to Israel, oil, the European Union, Islam and today’s top
headlines.
Made to Crave: Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not Food
Teacher: Debbie Norton Author: Lysa Terkeurst Wednesday Only
Has food become more about frustration than fulfillment? This study will explore the missing link
between a woman’s desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that
happen. This is not a how-to manual or the latest, greatest dieting plan. This study will instead
encourage woman to have their deepest need met by God and not food.
This Isn’t the Life I Signed Up For: But I’m Finding Hope and Healing
Teacher: Kim Hayes Author: Donna Partow Wednesday Only
When we’re challenged, we want to cry out, “Hey, God, this isn’t the life I signed up for! I specifically
remember signing up for great parents, a great marriage, and great kids who rise up and call me
blessed. I signed up for lifelong friendships, thin thighs, and vibrant health. Instead, I find myself in the
middle of the life I DIDN’T sign up for.” If you’re ready to discover a new approach to life—God’s
approach that promises hope and healing—then this study is for you!
Food Drive
Saturday, April 9 - Sunday, April 10
Due to the terrible economic conditions locally, Helps Outreach has
experienced an enormous surge in demand for food from struggling
families. This has led Joe & Angie Valentini to step out in faith to
expand their facility, enlarging the food pantry from 100 square feet
to 1,500 square feet. As a result, Helps Outreach is desperately in need
of food to fill their pantry.
Please bring any non-perishable food items to church with you
the weekend of April 9-10 and leave them in a bag behind your
car. Our volunteers will drive around that weekend to pick up the
items and deliver them to Helps Outreach.
Pray to End

Planned Parenthood center in Naples (Goodlette and Creech Roads). Since “40 Days for

quit, and 9 abortion facilities have closed. In 2010, several infants were spared right here
