Weekly Chronicle - Concord Road Church of Christ

FROM DAN’S DESK
January 18, 2015 Volume 2
Coming April 1, a 9-week course that can change everything!
We all need a plan for our money. Dave's class will show
you how to get rid of debt, manage your money, spend
and save wisely, and much more!

This isn’t your typical “money class.” Financial Peace University (FPU) is
practical, entertaining and fun!

More than 1.5 million families and individuals have taken FPU.

The average family completing the course pays off $5,300 and saves $2,700
in just 90 days. That’s an $8,000 change in position!

Whether you’re struggling to make ends meet or you’re a millionaire, FPU
has something for you.

FPU is based on more than 800 verses of Scripture and is a proven plan that
will work for you.
Stay tuned for more information, or see Dan Chambers
for all the details!
YOUTH CORNER
with Paddy Flanagan
God Is Our Fortress
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.” (Psalm 91.1-2)
Throughout the Psalms David refers to God as his fortress, refuge, and strength. He faced many physical
and spiritual battles throughout his life and saw
firsthand how God provides a strong fortress regardless of what attacks us. In the ancient world the fortress was often walled off from the rest of the city,
supplied with food, water, and ammunition where the
people could be protected and the city could be defended. David knew that he did not need to fear, because in God he found a fortress stronger than any
attack this world could muster.
We all have our own fortresses that we run to when
we face overwhelming circumstances. These fortresses can take the shape of people or relationships. They
can also be material things in our lives that we think
will bring happiness and take our minds off of our
problems. Like David, we should realize that the one
true fortress we have is with the one true God. This
fortress will always protect and never let down.

Mission Missive
Ghana Bible College
Academic work resumed at GBC in the last week of August with
all students and staff reporting. The only challenges the college
has experienced is the taking ill of one of the lecturers, making
the workload on some other faculty members to be increased.
That besides, all is going on well.
About the status of accreditation, all the visits by the accreditation
team have been done, with positive assessment of faculty and
staff, library and infrastructure. The college now waits for the certification from the accreditation board. That can happen any time
from now since all visits to the college have been completed.
Continue to pray for a speedy receipt of the great news of the
accreditation of the college that we all have been working at all
these years.
The Capital funds have also been put to use. A brand new vehicle has been bought as you can see in the picture below.
Radio Program
Since my return from the States the radio show has recorded 3
baptisms. The month of October was dedicated to teaching on
Forgiveness. In November and December the topics; the Plan of
Salvation and True worship shall be the focus of teaching on the
radio show. As the year 2014 rounds up we can only say the Lord
has been good to the program and as always gives us the baptisms that He wants to add to His church. We look forward to next
year’s radio show and humbly ask for assistance expanding the
program from 30 minutes to an hour program per week (two- 30
minutes –twice a week) so that the good impact from the program
is continuous and grows bigger.
February 1: There will be a Middle School Super Bowl Get
Together on Sunday, February 1, after evening services at
the home of Scott & Julie McFarlin. If you plan on coming,
you MUST notify Scott or Julie in order to help them with
food preparation. Food is being provided.
February 16: Freed Hardeman Campus Visit Day-Sign up
