We are all hoping for something…maybe a job or a relationship or something else.  There are many things people put there hope in.  Most likely though, disappointment is the end result because the things of this world are broken and pass away.  Our hope must lie out of this world, in God and his promise of redemption and new life,  if we are to rely on that hope.

In this message, we take a look at the movie, Waitress, where one woman places her hope in all of the wrong things and finds disappointment each time.  Listen in as Stan uses the story Waitress to point to the true hope that Christ gives us.

The Pathways’ community is headed to Ski Liberty on Saturday, February 27th. We’re leaving from our Granary Road facility at 3:00 PM and will be skiing from 5-10 PM.

Skiing, snow-boarding and snow-tubing – we’re doing it all. So this is an event for the whole family (anyone can tube – you just have to be able to lie down!).

See you on the slopes!

We don’t do it very often because, well… we just don’t like business meetings. But every once in a while we have to have one. Sunday, February 28th is the day. The meeting will take place immediately following our regular Sunday morning service – and if tradition holds – it won’t last long.

So, come on out, find out what’s happening, and pitch in to make our community better. We need you – really, we do. See you Sunday!

All activities at the Pathways’ facility on Granary Road have been cancelled for today. The Super Bowl party has been relocated to the Re’s house. If you need directions, or transportation just call Evelyn at 443.866.5088.

The Parent’s Night Out has been cancelled due to snow. Check back for rescheduling.

Physical exercise is valuable, but spiritual exercise is even more valuable:
It promises rewards both in this life and the next.
- 1 Timothy 4:8

Pathways is partnering with Hanley’s Fitness to spread the Good News about Jesus. Every Saturday evening at 5PM Hanley’s makes their gym available for free to anyone who wants to come. They follow the open gym time with a Bible study aimed at answering real questions and meeting real needs. It’s a great opportunity to share what Jesus has done (and is doing) in your life.

Hanley’s is also offering what I consider to be the best health club value in the area. New members can join for just $299.99 a year. That’s $0.83 a day! You can find out more about the gym at their website: Hanley’s.

Hanley’s is located at 121 Industry Lane in Forest Hill. Their phone number is 410.836.0770. Tell them Pathways sent you!

Dashing through the snow… OK, we’ll probably only get a few flurries, but the weather reports are calling for a little SNOW just in time for our Christmas Party! Very cool!

Good food, great friends and a lot of fun. This year’s party begins at 5:30 and ends… well… when it ends. Bring your favorite holiday dish (enough for your party and a little extra to share), and a gift for our WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE. Gifts should cost $5.00 or less, and the stranger they are – the better.

Bring a friend, bring food, bring a strange gift and a sense of humor. We’ll see you Saturday!
