Join us in the Fellowship Hall for a time of Bible Study, Coffee, and Fellowship.

The Adult Bible Study, Heaven, by Randy Alcorn, provides us with a thoroughly researched and biblically definitive description of heaven. As Alcorn addresses our most serious questions about heaven, including the nature of judgment, and answers a few of our less serious questions as well, we will develop a deeper understanding of our eternal destination and will find the courage to strive for heaven while we're living on earth. Join us at 9am in the Fellowship Hall. Come early for coffee and donuts.

CROSS COUNTRY: (K-5th GRADE)

Today in Cross Country we’re beginning a whole new topic: that of honor: (1) letting someone know you see how valuable they really are. Could anyone be more deserving of honor than God, our all-knowing, all-powerful, and holy Creator? (2) So the notion that He would turn that around and honor us mere mortals is kind of … humbling and exhilarating. But He does: “Those who honor me I will honor” (1 Samuel 2:30, NIV).

NURSERY/FIRST LOOK: (INFANT – 4 YR. OLDS)

Our young ones will be learning the “Cha Cha” today! They will be coming home singing: “Hey everybody. Did you know that Jesus cares about you and you and you and you? We want them to know that Jesus wants to be their friend forever.”
