						<description>Biblical Study -- Beth MoorePerhaps no Old Testament event so dramaticallyillustrates God's persistent desire to relate to His children as the building of the tabernacle in the wilderness. Through the tabernacle, God initiated a deeper relationship with His Chosen People by bringing reconciliation and revelation of His glory. And, certainly, no Old Testament event so richly prefigures the coming of the true Tabernacle, Jesus Christ.Beth Moore invites you to enter the sanctuary of your God and let Him reveal marvelous mysteries to you.This in-depth, biblical study explores the fascinating account of the building of the tabernacle, the significance of its intricate design, its pivotal role in God's eternal plan, the grand fulfillment of its purpose by Jesus Christ, and its variety of meanings for your walk with God today. You will be challenged to prepare your heart, like the holy of holies, to become a home for His love and glory -- a dwelling place for the Most High God.Watch the bulletin for the dates of this fantastic study. We hope you will join us on this journey -- a journey for women to learn the tabernacle's meaning and symbolism just for them.</description>

						<description> Calling All Men,It is my great honor to let you know of a future Men's group starting with a retreat on October 16 in Lancaster at Calvary Church for Men At The Cross.  The plan is to get together at Manoa Church parking lot at 6:30 AM  so we can leave for the conference.  The conference will end at 12:45 and we will stop for lunch together on the way back.  So we should arrive back on Saturday at about 3:00 PM. Why get up early?  Why be away from our family on Saturday for half the day?  Because God is calling you and I to accept his call on us  as Men of God.  Men At The Cross will have amazingly God filled speakers speaking to men right where they are at in their lives.  Did you ever want something just for men?  Did you ever want a place to go and be energized?  Did you ever wonder if anyone else cares about what you deal with everyday?  Well, this is the place to go on October 16.  The women of the church have Women Of Faith and now we have Men At The Cross. I am personally asking you to join me on October 16 so that we might be filled together.  I want to see you there and enjoy your company, your fellowship, your support in this half day conference just for men. The Men's ministry at Manoa is getting a recharge and I hope you can be there to get recharged, as well!!Erik Funch610-446-8070 ext. 21610-304-4776 cell phoneerikbfunch©gmail.comMORE INFORMATION:Man at the Cross Conference WebsiteConference BrochureLancaster Conference BrochureIMPORTANT: The cost is only $29.00 per person for the conference!!  Lunch on the way back will be your own responsibility.  And yet what a great way to discuss the morning and enjoy a great lunch together!!  Sounds like a win-win to me!The deadline is September 12 to let me (Erik) know if you can attend and then the $29.00 is due on September 19. Don't worry, I will remind you about both of these deadlines.MORE IMPORTANT: There will be fresh brewed coffee for every man in the morning, with assorted flavored creamers, sugars, and so on, to help wake you up.  </description>

						<description>MANOA SERMONS UPGRADEWe have created a new sermon page to improve your "listening experience."  The page will include a front page that always has the latest sermon, a page with all sermons and subpages with the various sermon series.  The new page also has the scripture references for reading or listening.  In the future, we hope to add the sermon outline to each sermon. The new page comes with the ability to leave comments. It is accessed on the right menu (Manoa Sermons).Three ways to listen:1. Click the link in the news item on the main web page.  Depending on your computer, the sermon will either start playing in a new window or in your media player, or you will be prompted to download it.2.  There is a separate sermon page on the menu to the left which includes the Scripture reference and the ability to leave comments.  Click Manoa Sermons. You should see play buttons under each sermon to simply click and listen.  If you don't, there is a Download button nearby.  The sermons are also on the far right column.  Click on the arrow and it should play.3.  Go to the Downloads page on the menu to the left to download and listen to it.4.  You can listen to sermons on iTunes.</description>
