- THIS SUNDAY, SEPT. 8, FALL KICKOFF — Join us this Sunday, September 8th, for our Fall Kick-Off/Back to Church Sunday! We will have our classes and small groups at 9:30am. We will have a brass quintet playing in the sanctuary at 10:30am. We will have our worship service at 11am with the return of our choir from their summer break. And we will have a delicious free lunch for all, right after the worship!
INVITE A FRIEND! 80% of Americans say they are open to coming to church if only a friend would invite them, but only 5% of Americans say they have ever been invited to church. 85% of people who visit a church for the first time do so because a friend invited them. Invite a friend and help us share the good news! - Sept. 11: Pastor Clark’s Wednesday Night Bible Study returns on Wednesdays from 7-8:15pm, in Mears 1 and 2. We will meet through the end of October, and we will be discussing the New Testament book of 1 Timothy. If you are not currently involved in a Bible study, small group, or Sunday School class, we encourage you to come to deepen your faith in Christ. No previous Bible knowledge is required.
- GriefShare returns on Sept. 17 to Dec. 10. and meets in-person on Tuesday evenings. Participants are welcome to join at any time during the 13 weeks. If you have suffered the loss of a loved one (spouse, parent, child, grandparent, or friend), please consider joining others to start the process of healing from grief to joy.
