There are some great opportunities to help you grow as we enter 2015. Our series, starting this weekend: “I AM JESUS,” is clearly about helping us spend Every Day With Jesus as we get going.

Our First Step dinner is January 12th at 6pm for anyone new to Community.

Second Step, a 3 week class on Thursday nights at 7pm, begins on January 15. This class helps you know how to study your Bible, pray and other habits to help you grow closer to Jesus.

There’s more, but let me give you a heads up on this one, because it’s a big one. We are again doing the 21-day Daniel Fast from January 11-31. We’ve got a few days before we get started with this, and I’ll give you more information as we get closer. For now, check out the main website and do a little research: DANIEL FAST.

In case the Daniel Fast is all new to you, here’s a quick idea of what we’re after. First and foremost, it’s a spiritual journey for 21 days. While we’ll be teaching from the book of John during the I AM JESUS series, you’ll be reading a chapter a day in the book of John as well… (21 days, 21 chapters in John).

It’s also a powerful physical tool. There is plenty to eat, but it will drastically change WHAT you eat. With no artificial ingredients, sugar or animal products of any kind, most people see results in weight loss and feeling better fairly quickly.

This will be my fourth time doing the Daniel Fast. Each time I learn more about how to eat better throughout the year. And, more importantly, each time I learn more about what God is trying to teach me!
