READ The Bible is a book about God. It contains every- thing God wants us to know about Himself and the truth we need to guide our daily lives. Reading a chapter - or even just a few verses - every day will make a huge difference in your life!

Communication is essential in any relationship. Spending just a few minutes each day talking to God will change your life and strengthen your relationship with Him. God invites us to "cast our cares on Him" (1 Peter 5:7) and "make our requests known to Him" (Philippians 4:6). Jesus said "ask and you shall receive". Your Heavenly Father has all the wisdom and guidance you need - yours for the asking (James 1:5)!

The Church is God's idea - not the invention of men, and He intends it to be a place where we are fed spiritually, encouraged, strengthened and helped. It is also a place where you'll find great friendships and great opportunities to get involved! New Believer's classes, Adult Bible Studies and regularly scheduled Worship Services are great opportunities to get plugged in! Make it a point to be at Church whenever the doors are open!

Take every opportunity to tell other people about what Jesus has done for you! God saves us so that we can bring other people into relationship with Him as well! You don't have to know everything - only how God has forgiven you and changed your life! Jesus' last instructions before leaving earth were "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel" (Mark 16:15).
