When:  April 20, 2013, 8:30-11:30 AM

Sigh-up:  www.restonbible.org/donuts

While the women are at retreat, Jason Goetz will direct the Annual Dads and Donuts event on Saturday, April 20, 8:30-11:30.  It will be a low-key event that includes breakfast, a short family devotional/skit, activities similar to AWANA games, board games, and crafts.  Childcare will be provided for infants/toddlers in the Nursery if Dads have multiple children

FAITH & REASONING 101
When:  Monday, April 22, 2013, 7:00 PM-8:30 PM
Where:  RBC, Room 238
Topic:  Topic:  “The Legend Theory”:  If you’re sharing your faith with non-believers, it’s inevitable that you will run into objections, and one of the most prevalent theories among skeptics is “The Legend Theory”.  It says that Jesus was just a good teacher and although there may be wisdom in His teachings, He is not God; He did not die for our sins, and He is not the only way to heaven.  You’ve undoubtedly heard some version of this – the Bible is just a bunch of fables and stories full of legendary material that were exaggerated over time…

Are the teachings about Jesus being God and having died for our sins the result of embellishments?  Or do we actually have good reasons to believe the Gospel message?

Come out and join us on Monday, April 22^nd, as we’ll examine the historical evidence for “The Legend Theory”. RSVP:  wgaines@firstphc.com

Upcoming activities are scheduled in May and beyond.  So mark your calendars.

SACRED RELATIONSHIP WEEKEND – Early Bird Registration Ends 4/8/13
When:  May 2-4, 2013
Where:  RBC Sanctuary
Speaker:  Gary Thomas
Sign-up: www.restonbible.org/sacred

Sacred Search – May 2 – Singles
Join us as Gary Thomas explores love, dating, and how to find a spectacular marital match in his new book, The Sacred Search.

Sacred Marriage – May 3-4-Engaged/Married Couples
What if God designed marriage to make us holy instead of happy?  Scores of books have been written that offer guidance for building the marriage of your dreams.  Yet, what if God’s primary intent for your marriage isn’t to make you happy…but holy?  And, what if your relationship isn’t as much about you and your spouse as it is about you and God?

Based on Gary’s bestselling book, the Sacred Marriage seminar helps couples uncover how marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God and each other. Learn more about Gary at www.garythomas.com. Childcare and scholarships information available on the web.
