Our new series, “Don’t Waste Your Life” by John Piper begins this Friday, JAN 17th.  If you can, please order the book ahead of time through Amazon, etc.  But if you find the week getting ahead of you, and you don’t order the book, STILL COME this Friday!  You will always gain something even if you don’t get the lesson homework done ahead of time.  I promise!

Speaking of homework, this week we’ll tackle the book Introduction (Preface) and Chapter 1 (My Search for a Single Passion to Live By).  Mike Lenhart will lead us this week to kick off the new series.

And, if you’re feeling really adventurous, watch John Piper’s sermon on “Don’t Waste Your Life” from a couple years ago.  It’s a long sermon, but you only need to watch about the first 15 minutes or so.  Buckle in, however!  John is a very animated and firey speaker!  Here’s the YouTube link for to watch:

As you know, we look for men to step up each week and lead the designated lesson for that week.  So, please consider signing up for one or more of the weeks where we need a leader.  Here’s the SignUp Genius link for volunteering to lead:

Our plan is to study this series over the next 10 weeks; a chapter per week.  Very easy readings!  This schedule will take us up just prior to Palm Sunday.  As a group, we’ll consider some social event and/or speaker prior to taking a break for Easter.

Finally, a new series is a great way to invite a friend, neighbor, co-worker, family member to join us.  Consider reaching out and extending that invitation today!

See you on Friday at the Cornwell Center.  Fellowship begins at 7:30 am.  Mike will kick things off at 7:45 am.

Peace!
