Everyone loves a story, and The Divine Rescue retells the grandest Story of them all. It is the tale of a perfect world gone astray, and of the God who stops at nothing to rescue that world and the people who inhabit it.

In a style both illuminating and entertaining, the author recounts highlights of the multi-layered saga of salvation from Genesis to Revelation. Seamlessly woven into this gripping drama are profound Christian truths shared by all the faithful.

This book is intended for anyone, from seeker to scholar, who has ever wept for a broken world, who has tasted pain and passion as a partner in the human plight, who has glimpsed a glory as yet unfulfilled and sensed that there is more to come.

Join us on Saturday, May 22 at Gospel Lakes for a day of service and loving on a group of inner city kids – many of whom have one or both parents in prison.  Got questions?  Contact Jim Brewer.

• Connection Groups: The Power of Serving Others – Our Biblical Literacy class provides opportunities for our class members to be a part of small groups, called Connection Groups (CG’s). CG’s meet regularly outside of class for fun, fellowship, support and prayer. Our connection groups have created new friendships, deepened old friendships and made individuals feel they are an integral part of our large, diverse class.
• Know Your Class Members – The Murrays have been members of CFBC for 15 years and have attended the Lanier class since its inception. Having served as connection group leaders for 7 of those years, they currently are members of the Smith Connection Group.
