The Program

Presenter
Dr. Phil Thorne is the senior pastor at West Shore Evangelical Free Church in Mechanicsburg. He has served with ministries in Philadelphia and Denver, and completed his PhD in Theology at Cambridge University. His ministry passion is "to teach the Word of God with clarity and power, and to lead the church to live by that Word." Phil's highest priority and deepest personal joy is his family: Cindi his wife to whom he's been married since 1978, and his two daughters, Rachel and Sarah. He also enjoys trout fishing, watching movies with his wife, and reading books.

Content
The following questions will be examined in detail by Phil Thorne, then interacted on in small groups.

• Why am I so tired, and what does God want me to do about it?
• Why do I feel a "disconnect" between my everyday work and the work of God?
• Does what I do from 9- 5 have anything to do with God's call on my life?
• What did God have in mind when He created this thing called marriage?
• Can you give me some help making my marriage what God designed it to be?

The Teen Program will parallel the theme of the Adult Program under the leadership of experienced Youth For Christ staff for both Middle and High School.

The Children Proqram for elementary grades will be age appropriate.

The Preschool Program will be a loving and caring environment for our youngest attendees.

Scriptural Focus
But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.  "Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.  "And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all.  "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."  (Mark 10:42-45 NKJV)
