SPECIAL EVENTS
MISSION FUNDRAISERS
Plan now for an evening of dinner and music for a “Belated” Valentine’s! Tickets go on sale Sunday, January 13.
Denver Bierman and his band of musicians (all Belmont University students), the Mile High Orchestra put together an act that would take them literally to the ends of the earth. Blending a red hot horn section, along with jazz and big band roots, Denver and the Mile High Orchestra have created a sound that is unlike any other. They wowed all of America, as they made the finale of the FOX-TV “American Idol” spin off “The Next Great American Band.” While DMHO has been compared to many, the music defies a genre.
Valentine’s Dinner & ConcertFeaturing Denver & the Mile High OrchestraSaturday / February 16 @ 6:30pm / Beltway Park
Smooth vocals combine with a wall of sound that calls up the images of blues, funk and soul. What can be defined is a contemporary pop sensibility with a nod to the great horn bands of the past.
Over 10 years the band has evolved and explored many different musical avenues, but one thing that has and will remain unchanged is an unswerving devotion to Jesus Christ which is transparent in their music. “Having a career in the music business comes and goes,” said Denver. “The hope we find in our faith is for an eternity.”
Proceeds from the following events, Valentine’s Concert, Passover Meal, Garage Sale and Golf Scramble benefit Beltway Park’s Summer Mission teams traveling all over the world in 2013.

Passover MealMarch 27 @ 6:00pm
Easter is not a biblical holiday, but Passover is. Jesus was crucified at Passover. Want to find out more? Plan to attend the Passover Meal on March 27. Tickets go on sale in March.

Real life change rarely occurs in isolation. That’s why at Beltway you hear a lot about getting together in small groups. Gathering literally all over Abilene and the Big County, people from every stage of life meet in homes to follow Jesus more closely. You might not think that engaging truth or ministering to one another could be so informal – yet be so intensely rewarding. Simple. Spiritual. Encouraging. Life Transforming.
To learn more about our Life Group ministry, search online at beltway.org/lifegroups, or speak to one of our Life Group pastors.

FREEDOM MINISTRIESFreedom is the ability to respond fully to God out of who He created you to be. This is only possible through the complete and redemptive work of Jesus through the cross and resurrection. Beltway Freedom Ministry is designed to help you become the person you were created to be. We want to encourage you to grow in Christ and teach you how to be an influence in the lives of others. Whether you struggle with personal obstacles or simply want “more” of God to strengthen and nurture your discipleship and growth in Christ, Freedom Ministry has a place for you.
Freedom in Christ (Equipping Track 1) Sundays @ 9:45am / Beginning January 13Freedom Ministry Team
To get started, attend and complete the Freedom track as follows:
This class is designed as an in-depth study of the war we face as believers in Christ. Join us as we search the Word of God to learn what every
believer in Christ needs to know about spiritual warfare, freedom, our true identity, God and the invisible battle.
Freedom Tools Training (Equipping Track 2) Pre-requisite: Freedom in Christ ClassSundays @ 11:25am / Beginning January 13 Freedom Ministry Team
What do you say to someone who is hurting? Kingdom business includes confessing our sins to one another, bringing dark things into the light and praying for restoration, but most people feel ill-equipped, even in close relationships, to help others draw closer to God. Freedom Tools offers an easy-to-
follow process that shows how you can make a difference. Inner pain is often inescapable, but healing and wholeness are possible. These proven tools will give you the confidence and healing you need personally as well as equipping you to give away to others.
15
Healing Ministry7:00pm / Room A109 / Dates listed below
Join us as we experience and witness the miraculous move of God in the area of healing. The Healing Team would like to extend an invitation to those in need of healing prayer. If you or someone you know has a desire and need for healing prayer, we have a group of people that are called, gifted and
desiring to serve through prayer and intercession. We would love to have the opportunity to join you in your journey to seek God’s healing in your life.
Prayer Night Schedule: January 8 & 24, February 7 & 19, March 7 & 19, April 4 & 16, May 2 & 14
Restarting is a solution-centered program to help teach the skills to change your life and bring healing from substance addictions or life-crisis. Restarting addresses the root cause of addiction, trauma and relationship failure. In Restarting, you will learn simple joy and relationship building skills that will
improve your relationships, and help teach your brain to regulate emotions, pleasure and pain more effectively. Pre-registration is required for the spring session. You must begin on January 13 and will not be able to join once the session has started. Another session will be offered in the fall.

Mission Team Information MeetingSunday / January 27 11:25am / B201
If you have any interest in going on a short-term mission trip in 2013 and have not already attended an information meeting please join us on January 27. This is your opportunity to hear about all our trips and ask questions!
To find the trip that best fits you or your family pick up a School of Missions information book in Park Connections in the foyer or visit beltway.org/missions.
School of Missions is the umbrella ministry for all short-term mission teams endeavoring to share the heart of Beltway Park to partner with local churches in the Nations of the earth. The emphasis of the school is team preparation, understanding cross-cultural ministry and service to the local churches we partner with. The School fosters unity of purpose between all of the teams being sent out from Beltway Park. During the year the School of Missions will provide four sessions for mission teams to worship and pray together, and hear a short teaching on various pertinent topics. Participation in these sessions is for all team members.
We encourage everyone to experience the hands-on ministry of sharing Jesus through a short-term mission trip. Whether using a puppet, hammer, stethoscope, playing baseball or engaging in one-on-one evangelism, you’ll have the opportunity to reach the lost and brokenhearted.

In the spring semester we will have a variety of ways for youth to grow in their walk with God. Sunday mornings we will have discipleship groups that are broken down by grade and gender. Wednesday nights we will be hitting real life issues that teenagers are going through today. We also have special events with the biggest being D-Now in February.

KIDS’ CLUB @ THE PARK
Kids’ Club @ the Park staff consists of various high-school and university students from the Abilene area, who are also leaders in our community. Each individual staff member contributes their own unique gifts and talents to our many programs. With our ratio at 1-14, our staff can effectively render the environment in which
your child will grow, laugh, learn and have fun. Most importantly, however, your child will be loved and cared for. From the moment your child steps off the bus, he/she will be greeted by name and with a smile. (All staff have undergone criminal background checks to ensure the safety of each child in our program.)
Monday – Friday | 3:00 – 6:00pm | Ages 5 - 18
