Weekly Update – October 21st, 2026
First of all, thank you to everyone who helped with last night's Trunk or Treat event, whether it was through donating candy or joining us for the evening. We were blessed to interact with hundreds of local families. Please join me in asking God to bless our efforts as we work to see our community transformed through our Gospel presence.
Here's what's coming up in the life of our church:
Tonight – Bible Study
Join us downstairs at the church at 6:30 as we worship God through fellowship, prayer, and reading His Word together. We will be studying James 3.
Sunday Morning – Worship Service
We'd love to see you this Sunday as we gather to worship the Lord together. We will be in Matthew 28:19-20 as we finish our "Our Mission" series by looking at what it means to be "teaching everyone to follow Jesus."
- 9:30am – Bible Study
- 10:30am – Morning Worship
Thursday, October 29 – Family Fun Night!
Come to the church at 5:30pm for food, pumpkin carving/painting, games, and singing. We'll be roasting hot dogs out back. Hot dogs and buns will be provided; please bring a snack or side to share. Bring your own pumpkin for carving or painting, and if you want to bring an extra pumpkin for someone else to carve or paint, please feel free.
