The Apostle Paul compares our lives of faith to running a race. Runners know the discipline and joy of running. On July 28, you can start the process of being a better witness for Jesus physically, mentally and spiritually....and in 12 weeks you will likely be ready for a 5K marathon here in Anchorage!
Run for God is a City Church group that meets on Thursday evenings at ACC for scripture, brief study and prayer...and then running!
There is a $30 fee ($25 online) to cover some of the costs of the group, including a book valued at $20.
Run For God – The 5K Challenge book is a practical guide to running and a 12-week training plan aimed at running a 5K, but with a Christian focus. Although people run for many different reasons, this book is for those who make God the center of their lives—or need to be reminded to do so. The tone is conversational and accessible, and the workout plans, discussion questions, and Bible verses make it both a practical resource and a workbook for individuals and groups, especially beginning runners. From advice about shoes and Christian music for one’s MP3 player, to tips on race etiquette, the book will be useful and inspirational.
Run For God – The 5K Challenge is part bible study and part training program. The primary goal is to learn to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ while understanding the parallels of enduring a sport like running and enduring your faith.
This group is for all adults! In fact, this study is designed for those who have never run, and if you have never run in your life, there is no better time to start than now.
Be ready for your first 5K road race in just 12 weeks, and learn how this sport relates to our faith in the process.
