SUNDAY ASSEMBLY (10:15 AM)

“Spiritual Vision for Life”: June 26 through August 28

As Christians, we are called to “live by faith, not by sight” and to “regard no one from a worldly point of view” (2 Corinthians 5:7, 16). So, do we see things the way the world sees them, or do we see things from a spiritual point of view? In this series, speakers will present lessons on several topics to help us think spiritually and see spiritually.

Week	Date	Topic	Speaker
8	August 14	Spiritual Vision for Work, Retirement, Entertainment	Steve Lowery
9	August 21	Spiritual Vision for the Church	Jack Gibbs
10	August 28	Spiritual Vision for Our Total Life	Tom Reynolds
