language. We are drawn to those
people because they are meeting our basic need to feel loved. Dr. Gary Chapman examines how this concept
relates to God’s agape love. Does God demonstrate His love for us mainly
through acts of service, or words or affirmation, or gifts, or quality
time? The goal of this study is to expand
your understanding of love for God and others. If you have questions or would
like to look at the study guide, please see Donna. LEISURE CLUB TO MEET The Leisure Club will meet February 28 at 11:30 a.m. in the Fellowship

16, 2006 This date has been designated as a special day of
prayer for our Pond Gap Summer Outreach programs. Please mark this date on your calendar as we continue to plan
and organize these programs. Sign up
sheets will be located in each Sunday School classroom on Feb. 12 and in the
Atrium. If you are not currently
attending a Sunday School class, please use the sign up in the Atrium. God has blessed Bearden UMC beyond measure
with this home mission opportunity.
In order to fulfill the mission before us, it will simply have to be a
church wide effort. What a wonderful opportunity to not
only touch the lives of so many children, but to bond together as a
congregation working hand-in-hand in service to our Lord. If you have questions regarding this
outreach ministry, please do not hesitate to call Pastor Tom or myself. –Donna Lewis COSTA RICA MISSION GOLF TOURNAMENT Friday, April 7, 2006; 8:15 a.m. Pre-register by March 26, 2006
