Worship
What's the box that you're stuck in? The Lord is at work to break us out of our comfort zones so can love and reach people we wouldn't have before. This Sunday we continue our series, The Spirit-Filled Community of the King, with the message "What's God Up To?" The Scripture passage is from Acts 11:1-24.
Are given in celebration of Jerry and Shirley Williams' 45th Anniversary!

Families: Our primary goal for you and your family is to partner with the church to help you become the primary disciple maker of your children. We know this can be a daunting task and we are here to help. Each week, we create a Family Equipping Devotion for you and your family based on the week's scripture. Our challenge is for you to have dinner together at least one night a week and share this devotion with one another and don't forget to pray, even if you just start out giving thanks to God. God loves to hear from his kids. Ultimately, we want to remind you that our children need to know Jesus and that our God is good and he can be trusted with our lives!
Have fun!
