News & Updates: Week of 2021-07-05
Worship with us!
Join us on Sundays for worship at 10am and 6pm. We love gathering around God’s Word and fellowshipping with God’s people, and we’d love for you to be a part of that! I pray you will be able to be there with us this coming weekend 🙌
Make sure to join us for Sunday school too!
We have Sunday school every Sunday at 9am, with classes specifically geared for adults, teens, and young children. I pray you’ll take advantage of these wonderful opportunities to grow in grace with your church family.
The adults are currently in a series called, “The Pursuit of Holiness.” Utilizing Jerry Bridges’ classic book (of the same name), Matt Kersey is leading this informative class on what it means, and what it looks like, to “follow hard after God.” (Ps. 63:8)
Children’s Church & Nursery are available during the morning service.
(Note: the Nursery is also available during the evening service.)
Events & Announcements
We’re putting together a team to go help serve and minister alongside Pastor Marvin Robinson in Rochester, NY. The dates for the trip are July 18–24. Please see Pastor Nathan if you’re interested in this wonderful ministry opportunity — and please be praying as the logistics come together for this trip 🙏
Men, be sure to mark your calendars for THIS Saturday, July 10, at 9am as we’ll be gathering for another time of Bible study and prayer. Be sure to join us and invite someone to come with you!
