SPRING STUDY ON SPIRITUAL GIFTS The stewardship committee will be sponsoring a 3 week study on Spiritual Gifts during the Sunday school “hour” on March 12, 19, and 26. It will be held in the Parish Hall and will go from 9:45-10:30am on each of those dates. All adult and youth Sunday school classes are invited to participate. I will be teaching the study, and the three weeks will look something like this: Week 1: What are spiritual gifts, and how are they different from earthly talents? (All participants will receive a spiritual gifts inventory to take home and complete before the next class.) Week 2: Discussion and description of specific spiritual gifts. Also, how to interpret a gifts inventory. Week 3: How spiritual gifts fit into the life and ministry of the church. Stewardship is all about taking the gifts God has given us and using them appropriately to bring glory and honor to Him. This class will enable our church to have a spring emphasis on Stewardship (and it has nothing to do with money!) If your class will be participating in this study or if you have questions, please let me know (jacksons4him@numail.org). We are not asking for individuals to sign up, but knowing if an entire class is participating (and how many people might attend) will help to more closely approximate the number of inventories to purchase. In Christ, Lewis Jackson
