Know Before You Visit

New to church and just want the cheat sheet? You don’t need to know how to “do church” before you come. We’ll give you the cues, and you can participate as you’re comfortable. We have both traditional and contemporary worship, plus a combined service on the first Sunday of each month when we all worship together. Kids are part of the church too, whether they join Power Hour or stay in worship with you.

B.L.E.S.S.

August marks the beginning of our new cycle of ministry. It feels like summer, but school is back in Session and so are we. We start a new volunteer cycle for children and student ministries. We start Wednesday nights. The choir returns in full force and starts practicing for Fall performances. It’s also a good time to remind ourselves about our individual commitment to evangelism.

My sermon on the combined Sunday in June had to be shortened to ensure the service was only reasonably long and not ridiculously long. I covered one of the implications of the text then but said I would cover the others in the newsletter. The text was 2 Corinthians 12:11-21. You may want to reread it first.
