“Transformed”
March 4 – June 3
2 Corinthians
Do you remember when you became a follower of Christ? That understanding that God loved you, that you were forgiven, the joy, the sense of relief and the newness of it all? For some of you it was very recent, for others of us, it’s been years. Do you remember how utterly fresh and new and confusing it was? The “Now what” thoughts, the “Am I doing it right” questioning of yourself, the “What will others think of me” angst of it all?
I remember discovering, for the first time, that verse in 2 Corinthians and saying, “That’s it! That’s what’s happening to me.” Paul said what I was experiencing as a new believer; “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things passed away; behold new things have come”. 2 Corinthians 5:17
The truth is if you are a follower of Christ; surrendering yourself and accepting Christ’s love and forgiveness for your sins, then you are a new creation in Him. You are being transformed more and more into the image of Jesus Christ! While the newness of your walk with Christ diminishes over time, the truth of your transformation should become more real and more real to you and more greatly reflected in your life. This is the emphasis of 2 Corinthians; living out a transformed life authentically. As the Corinthians struggled with letting go of the old ways of living and embracing the new values in their day, don’t we have those same today?
Transformed is a series of messages in 2 Corinthians to help us live as new creations in Christ. Some of those themes we will explore are; Finding a Purpose in Pain, Understanding God’s Grace, Living for Jesus Authentically, Helping Others Discover Christ, Being Generous, and Recognizing Our Own Blind Spots. I hope you will join us, beginning March 4th, as we discover these truths together.

Discover ways to improve your communication for healthier relationships. This seminar teaches God’s people listening skills during normal conversations. How do you know when something you are listening to is gossip? If it is, of course you should not repeat it. The Bible teaches that we should do more than that. In this seminar, John Wecks will present God’s way to respond to gossip, and will involve group discussion of case studies and lively interaction during the 3 sessions.
Join us Saturday April 28, 9-12 at Laurelwood Baptist Church. Child care and refreshments are included. Cost is $10. You can sign up online or at the Kiosk on Sundays.

The “Unified Dance” is a district wide event at Evergreen High School that invites students with special needs for a night of fun and dancing.
As a part of our partnership with Evergreen High School, Laurelwood is invited to serve at the “Unified Dance” by volunteering on May 11th from 4-6pm, providing snacks (purchased or homemade) or gift bags filled with fun small items such as stickers, small toys etc.
God calls us as we follow Christ, to love those who are more vulnerable in our communities. Helping with this event will be a great way to show our love to students with special needs in our area.
Please prayerfully consider how you can help with the event and contact Luke Jech. Also, be praying that we would be a blessing to Evergreen and be able to show the love of Christ to the students and staff.
