SCIO -- An area church is beginning a new seven-session
series on transforming key parts of one's individual lives for higher quality
health.
Knights Creek Church at 2987 Knights Creek Road (County Road
9), Scio, is presenting the study, "Transformed - How God Changes Us"
from 9:45 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Sundays, starting June 30, prior to the church's
11 a.m. services. These are free
educational opportunities for the public, including individuals from other churches
who can participate and then return to home churches that hold late morning
services.
The DVD/discussion series are part of a full Sunday church
schedule at Knights Creek that also includes a free weekly Community Dinner

church discussion gatherings to examine ways to better serve the community, and
a 6 p.m. evening service.
The new sessions are narrated by Rick Warren, founding
pastor of Saddleback Church, one of the largest in the country. He is author of "The Purpose Driven
Life," one of the best-selling non-fiction books in publishing history
which has sold more than 50 million copies in various formats, including
translations into 74 languages, and co-founder of Celebrate Recovery, on
ongoing support for individuals who are struggle with all types of hurts,
hangups, habits and life issues, including addictions.
The seven weekly segments of "Transformed" will
include personal transformation in spiritual, physical, mental, emotional,
relational, financial and vocational health, all of which have been identified by
various leading U.S. health agencies as being important for one's overall
well-being and peace of mind.
In addition to ongoing series to help individuals cope with
areas in which they encounter life struggles, the church holds other community
connection activities, including 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. community prayer
gatherings each weekday for personal, community, county, state, national and
world concerns, a 6 p.m. Wednesday Bible study, a 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday youth
