"So God created Man in his own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female he created them"--Genesis 1:27

It is with great enthusiasm that we personally welcome you to our ministry site. Connect with IMAGE is a social networking and information site for people who are 25 years of age and older. This site was developed for "kingdom business" only. Our goal is to bring you the latest information happening within the IMAGE Ministry, but also give you an opportunity to get to know members of this group.

IMAGE was established to minister to the unmarried adult population of the Elizabeth Baptist Church. As you journey through your season of singleness, know that you are not alone. There are various small groups, monthly meetings, outreach initiatives, fellowships and events to keep you balanced throughout the process.

Why IMAGE?
- We offer you an opportunity to get active in ministry
- We offer you an opportunity to meet other like-minded believers and establish accountability partners
- We offer you support for those in need of prayer
- We offer devotionals, weekly prayer calls and classes that provide spiritual guidance

Sign up, sign in and connect with IMAGE. Develop a personal page with information you would like to share with us. We ask that you do not provide too much personal information for security reasons. Chat on-line with fellow members, visit the discussion boards, blogs, etc. and leave your comments. Give us feedback on things you would like to see or suggestions to make Connect With IMAGE better for our members. We look forward to seeing you active within our ministry. You can also visit Minister Kenny Pugh's site at http://www.chatkafeonline.com for relationship discussions and information. Please enjoy your virtual experience!

Tim's Ray of Hope
This is a reminder about the Tim's Ray of Hope feed the homeless outreach which takes place on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month. Our group prepares meals, sorts clothing and then distributes to the community. We will now prepare the bag lunches at EBC in order to streamline the entire process. If you would like to assist with meal prep, it will begin at 9:00AM at EBC. If you are solely interested in going out to distribute the meals, please meet in the lobby of EBC at 10:00AM. We will then communicate instructions for the day and load the vehicles. Please be patient as we continue to refine this process.

Summerset Assisted Living
This is a reminder about the Summerset Assisted Living outreach which takes place on the 2nd Saturday of each month. Please meet us in the lobby of EBC by 2:00PM. We will then travel to the facility which is about 5 minutes away from EBC. Our group plays bingo with the residents, as well as serve as listening ears to a group who may not have family nearby. This is a great way to give back to our seniors for all they have done for our generation!

Prayer Team
Greetings Fellow Disciples! Are you ready for a new opportunity to step up your spiritual walk and take steps to being more like Jesus? Even at the time of crucifixion, Jesus prayed on behalf of his transgressors! Prayer takes commitment, unmatched faith and a passion to see God's Will come to fruition!

As our ministry expands and do major things in Christ's name in our domestic and global community, the IMAGE Ministry is calling all prayer warriors for a new prayer team! Let's stand as one body in pray and see God change things!

All individuals interested in joining the IMAGE Prayer team, please respond to image_ministry@ yahoo.com with your contact details (name, email address and phone number) and someone will contact you directly. If you have already submitted this information previously, please respond again due to technical issues with our e-mail address.

Prayer Calls
Our prayer calls have gone well over the past few weeks and we pray they have blessed you too. We will follow the same format used during the 30 days of Praying and Fasting. Mark your calendars for this weekly call and the dial-in number will remain the same as we've used before: Dial-in # - 218-844-0840, Passcode – 765797#

God Speaks
The Lord God caused to grow out of the ground every tree pleasing in appearance and good for food, including the tree of life in the midst of the garden, as well as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:9, HCSB
Thought
God's first work produced beauty, beauty that speaks through the grandeur of silence about who He is. Only as God speaks do we know Him, His purposes, and His ways.

Prayer
Lord God, maker of heaven and earth, You have chosen to speak with me so You can have a love relationship with me. Open my ears, my eyes, my heart so that I may hear You speak. Amen.

Daily Prayer

O Father, what a change comes over me when I realize that Your wrath is not so much directed at persons as at the sin that demeans and destroys them. You are not against me for my sin, but for me against my sin. I am deeply, deeply grateful. Amen.
