Sunday Message Extended…
Some of the Life Groups will be doing the Extended Study.  They will use a study outline created by Pastor Jeff that dives deeper into last Sunday’s message and into the Word.  The description for the extended study follows:

Have you stood in the exchange line waiting to exchange a gift or clothes that don’t fit or an item that doesn’t work?  Usually it is an even exchange at best.  Seldom do you walk away with more than what you brought to exchange.  What if there was an exchange line that offered you more than you could ever give?  What if you could exchange your rags for riches or your loneliness for some comfort?  What if you could exchange some old habits that you hate for some new ones? And what if you could exchange hell for heaven?  It’s possible!  God wants to offer you a Beautiful Exchange!  Come join us in the exchange line…it’s the best exchange you’ll ever make.
