And the Winner Is...

Beginning on Wednesday, April 28th, our men's book club will start discussing a new book, "Why We Love the Church" by Kevin DeYoung & Ted Kluck. In a day of muddled and at times, downright poor, ecclesiology, it is critical that we understand the importance of the church.

You Can't Get This on Your Blackberry

If you have an iPhone or an iPod touch, you can now get a free app called "Christian Creeds & Reformed Confessions." This contains the following: Apostles' Creed, Nicene Creed, Athanasian Creed, Belgic Confession, Heidelberg Catechism, Canons of Dort, and the Westminster Standards. Very, very cool!

Men's Leadership Training

One of the most critical components to the health of a local church is godly leadership...specifically, godly male leadership. Because of this, it is imperative that churches are proactive and train men to serve in the offices of the church. In April, we will be beginning a men's leadership training course that will meet once a month from April through October. This course will be a prerequisite for any men to serve as an office-bearer in the Bellingham URC. Much of our time will be spent studying and discussing the book "Called to Serve." We already have 15 men signed up to take the course. If interested, please sign up this Sunday. We'll have a brief meeting after the morning service of March 14th to discuss the specifics (day of the week we'll meet, time, etc.).
