FIREPROOF: The Movie, September 9th
At work, inside burning buildings, Capt. Caleb Holt
lives by the old firefighter's adage: Never leave
your partner behind. At home, in the cooling
embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules. Is
it too late to fireproof his marriage? His job is to
rescue others. Now Caleb Holt is about to face his
toughest job ever ... rescuing his wife's heart.
On September 9 at 7:00 p.m., please join the St.
John’s Marriage Ministry team for our fourth date
night featuring the movie FIREPROOF. The next
movie from Sherwood Pictures and Provident Films
has audiences laughing, crying, and on the edges
of their seats as they are drawn into the world of a
firefighter, his wife ... and a marriage worth
rescuing.
This event is free but we will be accepting a free
will offering. Childcare will also be provided.

Energize your spiritual condition
Board of Parish Education
As summer begins to fade and a new academic
year challenges us, it gives us time to pause
and contemplate our spiritual condition. The
Parish Board of Ed invites you to consider
the ways thatyou might enhance and energize
your spiritual condition with regular study
of God’s Word. Our Church library has a vast
array of materials for individual study and
even several group studies that remain timeless.
Please browse through and check them out. We
also invite you to attend one of the many
studies that are held during the week
such as Crossways and Men’s Bible study on
Tuesday evenings, the Ladies study on
Wednesday mornings, and the various studies
throughout the year on Sunday mornings. Regular
study of God’s Word can enhance and enrich your
life in a closer relationship with our Lord and
Savior.
This month I share with you a piece that I ran
across just by browsing through some Spiritual
literature. A Prayer to Guide Life is from Arch-
bishop Oscar Romero as he calls us to step back
and take a long view. God give you wisdom and
perspective as you step into His Word.
