Special Announcement - Leeward Community Church

Special Announcement
New Building and Renovation Meeting:
We have been faced with space issues for years, and at long last we
are finally at a point where we can move forward with a building
expansion plan. All land studies have been completed, a draft plan
has been developed, and because this is a major venture that affects
all of you, we desire your input in the final decision making.
Join us tonight for this important meeting. Approval (by vote) of
members is required; however, we also seek the opinions of our
regular attending non-members who consider Leeward Community
Church their home church.
All members and regular attenders are urged to attend this important meeting where we will share the scope, cost, and timeline for
the expansion. We covet your blessing and prayers on this venture.

Leeward Community Church (456-1340)  Sep 7 – Nov 30, 2014
Adult Sunday Bible Class
New Beginnings • Walter Kaneshiro, Richey Rich, Keith Rudolph – The New
Beginnings class is for anyone inquiring & exploring about God and faith as well
as for new Christians to discuss Biblical answers to personal questions and
needs.
In addition to this class, there are smaller groups meeting “under the
umbrella” during the Adult Sunday Bible Class hour that are designed to
personalize Biblical answers to life’s questions. Please express your interest on
the registration form in your bulletin and we’ll arrange to create a Bible based
small group experience.
* Bearing Fruit in God’s Family. Perspective. – A Class for Ladies • Betty
Tominaga and Lynn Ishikawa – As you choose to root your life in Christ, you'll not
only become stronger, but also more fruitful. By walking you through a simple,
yet effective approach to explaining the Gospel to your friends and neighbors,
this third book in the 2:7 SERIES will help you become a fruitful member of God's
family. At the same time, you'll also learn to naturally reflect Christ's character in
your everyday life. During the 40 Days in the Word, the class will have guest
speakers giving their personal perspective on life as a Christian woman. This
class is opened to all ladies.
* The Book of Daniel • Mark Yamamura – Overwhelming circumstances makes
clear that our God is in control of the destiny of mankind. When a conquering
nation has need of the conquered to help rule them, we can know it is a Godappointed occasion. When the future of mankind to the very end is revealed, the
secrets of life are divinely exposed for our attention, meditation, and resolve.
Join the study of Daniel, a book about God’s engagement with men and
revelation of His plan to complete our earthly life. These future events will take
place and the description of the end times will be discussed.
The Life of David • Michael Kissel, John Herman, Stan Lau – All young adults
(college and early career persons) are invited to join for a look into the life of
David. David was a shepherd boy, a giant killer, a king, a fugitive, an adulterer, a
warrior and a poet. Moreover he was a man after God's heart. Come join us as
we learn from David's amazing life.
The Book of Revelation • Dr. George Rhoades, Bryan Pang and Neal Arita –
Jesus reveals to us details concerning the end times over which He superintends
and triumphs over Satan. Yet the political make-up of the world system will
conveniently invite the most powerful and horrific dictator in human history to
reign as the Anti-christ with his false trinity the beast and the false prophet. Then
there are the Tribulation period of judgments, the rapture of the saints, the battle
of Armageddon, the second coming of Christ, the 1000 year reign of Christ, the
Great White Throne judgment, the final state of dwelling for the wicked in the lake
of fire, and a new heaven and new earth for the faithful to be forever in the
company of our God and His people. This will take place. Let us be prepared.
*There may be a fee for materials used in the class; however, Church funds are available
for individuals in need of financial assistance (consult with the class teacher).
