You don’t need to become the “right” parent/grandparent before God can use you in your children’s lives. Instead, learn to cooperate with whatever God desires to do in your heart today so your children will have a front row seat to the grace & goodness of God. Raising children is not easy, & the best parents/grandparents don’t do it alone. We are ready to partner with you. We care about the spiritual growth of your child, & we want to be your strongest support & biggest fan as you guide your child into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Thank yo u! facebook.com/thechapellife | twitter.com/thechapellife Other 330.376.6400 135 Fir Hill, Akron, OH 44304 the-chapel.org BELIEVING in Jesus BELONGING to Family BECOMING a Disciple BUILDING His Kingdom BELIEVE Acknowledge your position before God. Believe in Jesus Christ. God said, “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). That means no matter how good we are, we don’t measure up to God’s standard of perfection (Isaiah 53:6). The outcome is spiritual separation from God (Romans 6:23). Believe that Jesus Christ, who was God in human flesh, dies for your imperfections on the cross and was resurrected. His actions solved your sin problem by becoming your substitute (1 Peter 2:24, 3:18). 3 Express your belief through repentance & faith. WEDNESDAY NIGHT PRAYER GROUP Prayer group is now meeting in the Library’s resource room 6:30-7:45pm. All are welcome! Repentance involves turning from all sinfulness (Acts 3:19). Faith means placing your trust in the promises of God through Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31).
