When God Winksby Squire Rushnell Whether you call it synchronicity or coincidence, what brought you to this book today is worth remembering. In fact, you may have suspected all along that there is more to coincidence than meets the eye. These seemingly random events are actually signposts that can help you successfully navigate your career, relationships, and interests. Squire Rushnell shows us that by recognizing our “God Winks,” we can use the untapped power of coincidence to vastly improve our lives. The author applies his compelling theory as to why coincidences exist to fascinating stories in history, sports, medicine, and relationships involving both everyday and famous people including Barbra Streisand, Charles Schulz, Oprah Winfrey, Kevin Costner, Mark Twain, and Presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.4 Sunday, 10:10 a.m. - 11:10 a.m.4 Worship & Education Center, Room 214

Give up Something Bad for Lentby James W. Moore During Lent each year, Christians give up something as an act of sacrifice and spiritual discipline. Often it is something like chocolate, knowing that after Easter Sunday they can once again enjoy what they have given up. James Moore challenges readers to take it further – to give up something spiritually that they would be better off not doing. He invites all to seek God’s help to focus on eliminating one habit or attitude that is destructive. Imagine giving up envy, jealousy, self-pity, apathy, procrastination, gossip, resentment, or negative thinking – how much better life would be.4 Sunday, 10:10 a.m. - 11:10 a.m.4 Worship & Education Center, Room 2184 Tom Kendig

The Daniel Plan – 40 Days to a Healthier Lifeby Rick WarrenWelcome to The Daniel Plan. Here’s the secret sauce: The Daniel Plan is designed to be done in a supportive community relying on God’s instruction for living. When it comes to getting healthy, two are always better than one. Our research has revealed that people getting healthy together lose twice as much weight as those who do it alone. God never meant for you to go through life alone and that includes the journey to health. Unlike the thousands of other books on the market, this book is not about a new diet, guilt-driven gym sessions, or shame-driven fasts. The Daniel Plan shows you how the powerful combination of faith, fitness, food, focus, and friends will change your health forever, transforming you in the most head-turning way imaginably – from the inside out.4 Tuesday, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m.4 Community Life Center, Room 107/108

A Woman’s Heart:   God’s Dwelling Placeby Beth Moore Discover the parallels of the building of the Tabernacle and your life as a chosen vessel of God. Through the tabernacle God initiated a deeper relationship with His chosen people by bringing reconciliation and revealing His glory. No Old Testament event so richly prefigures the coming of the true Tabernacle, Jesus Christ. Taken mostly from the book of Exodus, this study explores the significance of the intricate design of the temple and its pivotal role in God’s eternal plan, the fulfillment of its purpose by Jesus Christ, and its variety of meanings for your walk with God today.   4 Wednesday, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.4 Community Life Center, Room 109

Forgotten Godby Francis ChanA compelling invitation to understand, embrace, and follow the Holy Spirit’s direction in our lives. In the name of the Father, the Son and … the Holy Spirit. We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit – the Helper – so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ. Unfortunately, today’s church has admired the gift but neglected to open it. 4 Wednesday, 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.4 Worship & Education Center, Room 211
