Connect
Bainbridge Youth Program
Gather for fun – food – fellowship – prizes
CONNECT is a youth program for young people in Grades 5 – 12 sponsored by some of the Conoy Township churches. Each Thursday evening (1st & 3rd) features activities, prizes, refreshments and a devotional time. Connect offers opportunities for the youth of our community to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to grow in a relationship with Him and each other. Connect youth outreach was started September 7, 2004.
Meetings are held at Bainbridge Elementary School. On non-school days they are held at Word of Life Chapel.
Youth must stay and participate from 6:00 thru 7:30 pm unless picked up early by their parents.
First-time participants are encouraged to have parents accompany them to registration.
Phones should be for emergency use only.

New Discipleship Classes begin!
1. Ladies Class – One of the many lists that God has given to His people
through the years is Jesus’ own description of what He requires of His followers
in the Beatitudes. We will be studying Matthew 5: 1-12 and learning how to
lean on Jesus to help us mold our attitudes and hearts to His way. – Meeting
in the Library – Led by Cindy Kulp and Barb Miller
2.Study in the Book of Judges- a 350 year time period when Israel repeatedly
“did evil in the eyes of the Lord “, and “every man did as he saw fit“. The
necessity of a righteous king to lead the nation in covenant obedience laid
the foundation for king David’s reign and points us to the reign of King Jesus
over his Church and our hearts. Led by Dain Kulp
3.Study in the Song of Solomon – The family is the foundation of the Church
and society and yet our family life is drastically deteriorating all around us.
The Song of Solomon addresses this problem by focusing on the hearty of the
family which is the husband/wife relationship. But there is something in this
book for everyone: the young person who is dating, engaged, newly wed,
seeking conflict resolution, increased romance and faithfulness until the end.
Please join this study if you are interested in what God’s plan is for your family!
Led by Pastor Aaron.

GLOBAL OUTREACH PARTNERS
Emmanuel & Jen Coulibaly – Please pray for Emma as he is in Burkina with family following his mother’s passing. Pray for his time there and that he can get his passport with no problems in order to return back to the States on September 30th. Pray for Jen as she and Joy are with her parents in Lancaster. Pray for Jen’s health issues and decisions concerning surgery on her back. She would need to have two vertebrae fused together in order to help with the foot drop – and there is not a guarantee that will successfully resolve the problem.
Global Outreach Update Letters available on tables at each entrance!
