			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;If I only had this as my guide…if all I had was the Bible…and I was to read this book and then start a church, what would it look like?  Would it look like the thing that we&#8217;ve built here and all refer to as church? Or would it look radically different?&#8221;          -  FRANCIS CHAN</p>
<p>Trends come and go in our culture and the church seems to follow.  <strong>BASIC</strong> is a seven-part series of short films that challenges us to reclaim the church as Scripture describes it to be.  This series speaks to those who have questions about the church and to those who may have lost interest in the church.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #663300;"><strong>What is church?<a href="http://www.fergusonchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Basic.jpg"><span style="color: #663300;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3069" title="Basic Fear God" src="http://www.fergusonchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Basic.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="289" /></span></a></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #663300;"> You are church.</span><br />
<span style="color: #663300;"> I am church.</span><br />
<span style="color: #663300;"> <em>We are church.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Join us Sunday evenings</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">at 6pm</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for &#8220;Basic&#8221; video study</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">with Francis Chan.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Our first session &#8220;Fear God&#8221; is April 22.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was a recent Friday night and two gyms were a buzz with action.  North County Christian school&#8217;s basketball program was alive in north county and south city.  The positive spirit and excitement in both gyms was contagious.</p>
<p>The Junior Varsity and Varsity Athletes defeated Tower Grove Baptist in their south city gym as full house of Tower Grove and NCCS fans cheered them on.  While in the NCCS gym the Junior High Boy&#8217;s and Girl&#8217;s traded games with Priory while a large crowd of fans roared.</p>
<p>The highlight of the night and most outstanding reflection of spirit was demonstrated by the cheerleaders as the Tower Grove and NCCS girls joined together to cheer on the crowd.  Now competition is what it is, but this is what it&#8217;s all about!<a href="http://www.fergusonchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/NCCSCheer.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.fergusonchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/NCCSCheer.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3051" title="PhotoELF Edits:2012:02:01 --- Resized" src="http://www.fergusonchurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/NCCSCheer-1024x547.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="547" /></a></p>
