Description: We ask ourselves, "How can I help a world in need?  War, poverty, despair ... the world's problems seem overwhelming.  Where do we even start?  Bono, Oprah and other celebrities have the resources to make a difference ... should we just leave it up to them?  Or does God have a role for each of us? 
Come join us in our study of God's Remarkable Plan to Rescue the World with "No Plan B" by Todd Phillips, who inspires Christians to "get out of their box" and remember their calling using Biblical teaching to reveal the important role God has for each of us to rescue the world.  Tonight, we will begin with "2000 Overlooked Scriptures".
