Bible Study – Basics of the Bible

What is the difference between the Old and New Testaments? Why do we still read the Old Testament? Why do some Bibles have more books? What are the Gospels, and who was Paul? For those new to the bible, or who need a refresher, join Pastor Vince Endris every Wednesday in September and October at 10:00am at First Christian Church in Greeley for a foundational Bible sudy where we will explore these questions and much more, diving into the basics of the Bible.

May is National Mental Health Month

“I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.” -Psalm 40:2

National Mental Health Month raises awareness of the impact mental health issues can have on the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of children, families, and communities.

Depression alone affects 264 million people worldwide. In the U.S., suicide is the second leading cause of death in young people 15 to 29. Statistically, we know all someone dealing with mental health issues. Throughout May, take a few moments to show care and say a prayer for those struggling in your family and community.
