Classes are open to anyone and you are welcome to join or visit a Bible Study anytime.
Please come and join us for these enlightening and inspiring studies.
Sunday Morning Bible Studies
Sunday Bible Studies:
8:30 AM to 9:00 AM - Coeducational Class

The Books of 2 Samuel , 1 & 2 Kings – we continue our journey through the Old Testament. This class
lasts 30 minutes and is designed for those who may have time constraints and/or want a fundamental Bible
Study. (Darrell West) Chapel/Choir Room
9:30 AM to 10:30 AM - Coeducational Classes

1 & 2 Thessalonians – “Be Ready. Living in the Light of Christ’s Return”
During his life and ministry, Christ assured the apostles that He would one day return for His people. But
how should this future event affect our lives today? In 1 & 2 Thess., Paul reveals that the promise of Christ’s
return is more than a doctrine of our faith. It is a remarkable truth that can shape how we live, how we
connect, and how we view ministry. Join us for a lively and interactive study and discussion.
(Patti Garrett & Ann Hay) Fellowship Hall Classroom A
9:30 AM to 10:30 AM - Coeducational Class

Ray Vander Laan DVD Series & Discussion – we continue with “In the Dust of the Rabbi,” (5 lessons) and
“Walk as Jesus Walked” (5 lessons). “Follow the rabbi, drink in his words, and be covered with the dust of
his feet,” says the ancient Jewish proverb. As disciples of Jesus, we’ve discovered that following Him
demands a passion for the text of Scripture and a complete devotion to the Christian community of faith. But
there’s more. A disciple is consumed with a passion to be like the rabbi – Jesus. Come and discover what it
means to have this kind of passion for Christ. (Bob Blackshear-512-863-0547) Boardroom
9:30 AM to 10:30 AM - Coeducational Class

Hebrews 11 – God’s Heroes of Faith - Join us for an intimate study of God’s heroes of faith: men and
women who had one thing in common…an unshakable faith in God’s promises. Ordinary men & women
accomplishing extraordinary things! Why does the author of Hebrews give us this list and what has it got to
do with our lives today? Why did each person deserve a spot on this exclusive list of God’s faithful? What is
the kind of Christian life that Hebrews 11 points us toward? Can God be pleased without faith? Come and
find answers to these questions & more in our study of Hebrews 11. (Harold McElfish) Classroom B
10:45 AM to 11:45 AM - Coeducational class

The Book of Matthew: Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount – we continue the study of the
greatest sermon every preached. How do we respond as Christians today when Jesus
commands us to “be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”?
(Jim & Phyllis McDaniel) Fellowship Hall Classroom B
Bible studies continued on the next page
10:45 AM to 11:45 AM - Coeducational class

The Letter of Paul to the Romans - This class is a continued study of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the
Romans. His letter reflects an in-depth theme of the righteousness of God emphasizing that “…the righteous
man shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:17) We will study the elements of the righteousness of God and how that
leads you and me to a right relationship with Him and others. These scriptural truths will be molded into
personal life applications through the reading and interpretation of His Word. Class participants will be
encouraged to discuss their views, opinions, needs, and observations of the text leading into a meaningful time
of Christian fellowship. (Jim Shepherd) Fellowship Hall Classroom D
Monday Bible Study (September 15 – November 17)
1 PM-3:15 PM - Women’s Class

Beth Moore -Children of the Day: 1 & 2 Thessalonians - Find encouragement for living the Christian life
now and hope for when Christ returns. (Patti Garrett & Brenda Kennedy) Fellowship Hall
Tuesday Bible Study (Start date - September 30)
9:30 AM to 10:30 AM - Men’s class

The Gospel of John - a verse-by-verse study. This book was chosen due to its way of dealing with the nature
and person of Jesus Christ and because it is the most theological of the four Gospels. John presents Jesus as
the divine Son of God as shown by the titles given to Him. And Jesus, by His many “I am . . .” statements,
made implicit and explicit claims to be the I AM – Yahweh of the Old Testament. Jesus clearly claimed to be
God. This Gospel has no parables and only seven miracles. And John emphasizes the physical actuality of
Jesus’ hunger, thirst, weariness, pain, and death as a defense against the Gnostic denial of Jesus’ true human
nature. Jesus is revealed as fully God and fully Man. (Much of the previous is borrowed from Charles Ryrie.)
Please join us as we delve into this Gospel which reveals Jesus Christ as God, the Son, and as we draw closer
to Him, our Savior and Lord. (Dick Pitzer) Fellowship Hall Classroom A
Wednesday Bible Studies
10:00 AM to 11:15 AM - Women’s class (Start date—September 17)

The Names of God by Ann Spangler – This Bible study outlines the names of God, their meanings and
origins, and how they can be used in our prayer life to tap into who God is, in any given situation.
(Christine Durham) Fellowship Hall Classroom A
6:30 PM to 7:30 PM - Coeducational class (Start date—October 1)

1st and 2nd Peter Led by Pastor David Cobb. In this study of Peter we will discover many
issues that he experienced mirror circumstances we often face in our journey such as stress,
trials, and the challenge to share our faith. Come join us on Wednesdays as we study and
look at God’s Word together! (David Cobb) Fellowship Hall
Connection Groups

Kelly’s Connection ~
Several decades ago young people had the attitude
reflected in the mantra “if it feels good, do it.” The basis
of decisions was primarily emotion and physical pleasure.
My question is, “How did that work out for you?”
I suppose some decisions can be made based on
feelings, but a level head and reliable information best
support important decisions. Recently, I’ve been asked
about cremation. Is cremation okay? What does the
Bible say about cremation? Perhaps you’ve asked the
same question. Rather morbid topic, isn’t it?
It is helpful when, together with loved ones, we make
such decisions before life’s circumstances force the
decision. I encourage you to discuss your end of life
decisions with your family and make plans accordingly.
Decisions may include your preferences about medical
procedures such as extreme measures taken to prolong
your life. It is helpful to think through and plan your
memorial service to include Scriptures, songs, and
speakers. Decisions about life and death are best made
without the distress of an impending or recent death.
The Bible has no explicit prohibition regarding
cremation. Some Christians object to cremation on the
basis of the Scripture’s reference to the body being the
temple of the Holy Spirit. They say
it is therefore disrespectful. Others
reject the idea based on the biblical
teaching that our bodies will be
resurrected at some future date.
Others argue that whether our bodies
are destroyed by decay or fire, God
is the source of resurrection and can
resurrect a body from whatever
condition it may be.
Still others argue that most biblical reference to the
burning of dead bodies was done in condemnation of that
person and his/her behavior (Lev. 20:14: 21:9). There are
also the references to hell being a place of eternal flame
and therefore a negative connotation. But there is no
statement that I can find in the Bible condoning or
condemning cremation as a practice .
I encourage you to study, think, and discuss important
decisions with those you love so that the decision is one
that respects your values as well as those of your loved
ones, and honors your Lord.
Gladly serving,
Kelly

Spotlight on a
Benevolence Recipient
BLUE SANTA – GEORGETOWN
Georgetown Blue Santa has provided toys to
underprivileged children annually. Each year, the
Georgetown Texas Police Department, its department
volunteers, and individual volunteers and businesses
join forces to hold special events or set up donation
barrels to collect toys. Also, through Blue Santa Cares,
toys are donated to families when they have lost their
belongings in fires and natural disasters such as
flooding. The toy donations are made at any time of the
year they are needed.
Letter from Gersan & Betty Valcin,
Missionaries in Haiti
Dear Steve and The Worship Place Family,
Psalm 34:3 "O magnify the Lord with me and let us
exalt His name together."
Our hearts are overflowing with joy in the
partnership that the Lord has given us in transforming the
lives of Haitians for His glory! The contribution that we
have just received for $15,000 to be applied to a
generator for use in our master plan for solving the
electrical problems that we face in our Jacob's Well
ministry is truly a “heavenly gift.” It is hard to put into
words the gratefulness that we feel for such a
contribution as this and the amazing impact that it will
have on our ministry!
With our desire to have CIEL FM 98.7 - our radio
station - broadcasting 24 hours a day and to have our TV
station TELESYEL - LA channel 10 broadcasting as
many hours as possible, we must have a continual flow
of electricity as you can understand! As we know when
God's Word goes forth that it does not return void!
Isaiah 55:11 "so is my word that goes out from my
mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will
accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for
which I sent it." Psalm 86:12 "I will give thanks to
you, O Lord my God, with all my heart. And I will
glorify your name forever!"
The mission trip to El Salvador, February
2015, has the required 12 missionaries
and 2 alternates, for a total of 14.
Praise Him!

THANK YOU, MIKE!
Mike Bailey has announced his retirement
from his position as Finance Accountant for
The Worship Place as of October 31, 2014.
After 8 years of loyal service, Mike looks
forward to having more leisure time to spend
with his wife and to enjoy some long-delayed travel experiences.
With mixed feelings, the staff and Trustees honor his decision
and wish him the very best, while regretfully losing a valuable
staff member. We are grateful for Mike’s expertise in our
Finance Dept. and he will be missed. Thank you, Mike, for
your dedication and support to the church in keeping us
updated and informed in countless ways!

2014 Angel Tree
Angel Tree is a ministry that
reaches out to the children of
inmates and their families with the
love of Christ. The program works
by connecting parents in prison with
their children through the delivery
of Christmas gifts. The Worship Place members can
brighten the lives of these children and show the love of
Christ by purchasing and wrapping gifts on behalf of the
incarcerated parent.
Neighborhood Ambassadors
On Sunday mornings, November 9th and November
16th, you will have an opportunity to select a child’s
name and their gift request from one of the Angel Trees
located in the Welcome Center.
You may also
participate by making a donation to help purchase
Christian literature and favors for a gift bag for each
child. Let’s make a difference for these children. To
volunteer to help in the Welcome Center on these dates,
please call Jim or Bonnie Mizell at 512-591-7048.
New Ambassador Ministry: The purpose of the
Ambassador Ministry is to make sure that The
Worship Place is connecting to all of its members,
and is aware of their needs.
Pastor Kelly spoke about the Ambassador Ministry
from the pulpit a few Sundays ago. You can find his
sermon on the TWP Website by going to
theworshipplace.org/what-we-do/caring-ministries or
you can pick up a copy at the TWP office.
Operation Christmas Child
We are still in need of Neighborhood Ambassadors
for 16 out of the 60 different neighborhoods. Some
of the larger neighborhoods need more than one
ambassador. (Neighborhoods without an ambassador:
1, 7, 8, 15, 20, 21, 23, 27, 28, 29, 38, 43, 44, 45, 51
& 53.)
The Power of
A Simple Gift
The Shoebox Ministry time is here again! Beginning
October 26th, volunteers will be needed. If you are able
to help, please call Carolyn Knipp, 512-864-3835.
Ambassadors contact TWP members and regular
attenders in their neighborhood to: 1) let them know
that TWP cares about them, 2) ask if they have any
needs or concerns, 3) verify their database
information, and 4) provide the ambassador’s name
and contact information. You can view Gary Allen’s
role play during Pastor Kelly's sermon, referenced
above.
(Shoeboxes are filled with gender and age-appropriate
items and shipped to needy children around the world
by the Samaritan’s Purse organization.)
