October 3-7
Hub 450, 450 N Prince St, Lancaster, PA 17603
Kairos is a nine-session interactive study of the Purpose and Plan of God for His people and His world from Genesis to Revelation.
This course guides participants to a biblical worldview and to live as a world Christian. It uses a unique combination of facilitated introductions, reading, videos, group discussions, special activities, and prayer for unreached peoples. Kairos is one of several mobilization tools produced by Simply Mobilizing, Inc., located in the Philippines.
Kairos is for all Christians at any point in their journey with God. It is not a "missions" course. It is an opportunity for all God's people to have their worldview transformed and aligned with God's heart for the nations. He has called us all to play a part in His mission, and there are many different roles to fill.
The registration fee ($125) covers materials, refreshments, and lunches. For questions, please contact Krystle Thorne. | |  The No Longer Alone Family Support Group, now supported by Landis Communities, will meet on the fourth Sunday of every month.
