A Note From Pastor Brian . . . Greetings with great joy, Joy Christian Center welcomes you to a new year and a new quarter of HeartBeats! What are you waiting for? You know you want to . . . there’s been that still small voice on the inside saying, GO FOR IT! At Joy Christian Center, we want to help you start 2008 in style! As you look through the pages of the bright, shiny, brand-new models for 2008, we’re sure that we have just the right group for you. Feel the power as you step into groups such as The Power of a Praying Woman or the men’s bible study, Quiet Strength. Experience the ride and comfort of such groups as Driven by Eternity or First & Second Thessalonians. Just looking for something fun? Consider Friday Night at the Movies, Karaoke, or Walleyball. Need something for the growing family? HeartBeats has you covered with Moms in Touch and Your Time-Starved Marriage groups. But how can I afford all this, you ask? Not to fear. There are several financial groups being offered that will help you start 2008 in style. Check out the Crown Biblical Financial Study, Master Your Family Finances, and even a one-night seminar, Avoiding the Debt Trap. Heartbeats will have your financial future looking bright beyond 2008! Yes, friends! You, too, can be the envy of your family, friends, and co-workers as you get 2008 off to a fast start by connecting with other believers for a time of fun, community building, and, most importantly, building up your faith through HeartBeats.
