CHRISTIANITY, CULTS & RELIGIONS
BIBLE STUDY
The Christianity, Cults and Religions DVD Bible Study
gives video-based overviews of Mormonism, Jeho-
vah’s Witnesses, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam—and then follow up with discussion questions in the par-
ticipant guide. The series helps you understand basic Christian be-
liefs, know why cultic groups are attractive, learn
what motivates each group, and why it is important biblically to have an answer for what we believe
about Jesus Christ. It also covers the do’s and don’ts of talking with people of other religions in a loving
way. WDEDNESDAY NIGHTS

Thank you so much for all the prayers and all of the pastoral team’s visits and phone calls to mom. Thank you, Pastor Cliff, for your visit to the hospi-tal, mom’s home, and being there for the service. It was all greatly appreciated. Jean’s Family (Pratt)
I would like to thank Jacqui Pratt, Helen Jane Am-Rhein, Leah Nitz, Nettie VanArsdall and Wanda Heaton for their calls and prayers when I had mi-nor surgery and many, many tests. Thank you again. God Bless! Bev Ruble Pastor Cliff and Congregation, I want to personally thank you, Pastor Clfif, for an-nouncing that my 89th birthday was approaching and also for all the years that I volunteered at the nursery. That really meant a lot to me and touched my heart. I truly appreciated and was overwhelmed with all the beautiful birthday cards I received from my church congregation. Your thoughtfulness will al-ways be remembered. Thank you and bless you for being so special. God bless all of you. Sincerely, Betty Robbins
DECEMBER SALT & LIGHT
NOVEMBER 17TH STAND FREEDOM RALLY @ the INDIANAPOIS STATEHOUSE
Approximately 1300 attended the rally to PRAY, SING, and STAND for RELIGIOUS LIBERTY sponsored
by the Indiana Pastors Alliance. We heard from excel-
lent speakers addressing the urgency of today’s cul-ture war on religious liberty.
Our big orange bus from FBC joined the caravan of Hoosiers from all over the state. There were 25 of us
representing 5 area churches and 2 Pastors aboard. The Senate introduced a bill to AMEND the
INDIANA CIVIL RIGHTS CODE to include SEXUAL
ORIENTATION and GENDER IDENTITY. The 21 page bill has a number of other changes and this bill will
be addressed in the January 2016 session.
Be in PRAYER for our General Assembly as they are under
extreme pressure from big business and special interest groups in and out of the State to pass this bill and be the
20th state to do so.
Please consider signing the petition @ the link below
against this bill to protect our religious liberty.
