Poverty Summit 2015 Invitation

What would Lucas County look like if every Christian church were working in some loosely but strategically coordinated manner?

What would the church itself look like?

You are invited to attend the Poverty Summit 2015 — Mind the Gap.

The goal of this FREE one day event is to develop a plan for the Christians in Lucas County

to tackle poverty. The event is being held at Cherry Street Mission’s Life Revitalization Center (former Macomber High School), 1501 Monroe St, Toledo.

Dr. John Perkins will be our inspiring keynote speaker this year. Dr. Perkins started the Christian Community Development Association and has guided hundreds of communities and ministries in addressing poverty.

Breakout Sessions will include:

~ What Gap? Understanding what the church needs to know about poverty

~ Building the Bridge: Steps out of poverty and into autonomy

~ Bridging the Gap: A unified approach to poverty in Lucas County. What can the churches do and how to collaborate for those willing to do so.

Schedule for Thursday, March 5th:

8:30 – 9:15 Welcome and Introductions

2:00 – 3:00 Break out session #3

9:15 – 10:00 Dr. John Perkins

4:40 to 5:00 Dan to discuss: What is next?

“… then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in

spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”

Philippians 2:2-4 NIV

Is My Child Ready For Kindergarten?

How do I know if my child is ready to start school?
What does my child need to know?
What is kindergarten testing?
What can I do to help better prepare my child?

A non-branded, community service event hosted by Emmanuel Christian School. The information that will be presented is meant to help parents of 4-5 year olds determine if their child is ready to begin as well as to help parents better prepare their children to start school. From our experience, the students who aren’t quite ready have a much harder time adjusting and excelling in the classroom, which can follow them throughout their school years. Taking time with a young child to make sure they feel confident when they start kindergarten is critically important to the student’s success in their first year and will create a foundational attitude toward school and learning as a result.

Date: Monday, March 2nd, 2015

Time: 6:30pm

Location: Emmanuel Christian School, 4607 Laskey Road, Toledo, Ohio 43623

Questions: 419-885-3558, email bethlawson@ecstoledo.org

Join us for this FREE community event. Get valuable information that will help you and your student be prepared for kindergarten! Please share this information throughout your network and organization. Childcare will be provided.

Bethel Assembly of God in Perrysburg, Ohio Welcomes New Pastor….

Kevin Starr has a passionate desire for God’s word and a move of the Spirit in these last, desperate days in which we live. At an early age, he received a call to ministry at youth camp one summer. He left Ohio for a while to follow what he thought was a career path for himself. After spending a number of years running from that call, the Lord pressed him in 1993 that he should yield. During that conversation with God, the Lord told him that he could keep on the path he was walking or he could accept the call and the work in which the Lord desired for him to do. He accepted with honor and humility that day and has never looked back.

As is his nature, he immediately wanted to get into ministry in any capacity. He began work in his local church. He discovered through God ordained appointments that there was a school of ministry opening in Pensacola, Fl as a result of the salvations taking place during the Brownsville Revival. The Lord impressed upon him that this was the place he was to receive his ministry education. Through experience in both formal education and the “life of hard knocks”, Kevin has become a man who is led by Holy Spirit with a passion to see those around him impacted by the power of God. He also desires to teach them in Word and deed, train them to find God’s call and plan for their lives, activate them into ministry, and release them to do that which God has called them to do!
As the shepherd of God’s flock, Pastor Kevin Starr nurtures spiritual growth through preaching and teaching that taps into the promises and power of God’s Word. Church should be a family with the love of God and the overflowing anointing of Holy Spirit. Pastor Kevin pastors with these principals in mind. He is excited about helping you grow spiritually through practical biblical teaching and exhortation designed to meet your specific needs.
Upon graduating the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry (BRSM), Kevin went to work for Evangelist Steve Hill as Product Manager. He accepted his first pastorate in Evergreen, AL in 1999. After senior pastoring, the Lord called him to serve Pastor John Kilpatrick at Brownsville Assembly as the Young Families/Associate Pastor. The Lord later opened the door to pastor Leeds First Assembly of God in Feb 2003 which later became WellSpring Worship Center. As a hometown boy and graduate of Maumee High School, the Lord has now led Pastor Kevin and his family back to Perrysburg to pastor Bethel Assembly of God. It is an honor to serve a church family that has been so instrumental in developing the spiritual man of God that he is today!

Mary of Nazareth: Woman of Grace Presented by: Sister Shannon Schrein, OSF

The lovely little prayer that we all hold dear begins “Hail Mary, full of Grace.” These simple words describe Mary’s life lived deeply; a life that is grounded in her relationship with God and confirmed with a simple “Yes.” Our reflection together will consider Mary’s significance in our lives. The way that she lived serves as a model for us and will help us to grow in faith. We will consider her life in Nazareth, her biblical portrait and what the Church has come to know and believe about Mary of Nazareth, Mother of Jesus, sister, friend, prophet and disciple.
