Men's Group Starts New Study

Men's Group Starts New Study

The Thursday evening Men's Group just started a new study February 6 - March 20. Led by Sam Gervais and Heath Gunther, they will read through J-Curve by Paul E. Miller. 

The J-Curve maps the ups and downs of daily life onto the story of Jesus. It grounds our journeys, not in some abstract idea, but in union with Christ and his work of love. Understanding our lives in light of the J-Curve roots our hope, centers our love, and tethers our faith to Christ.

For more information, contact Heath Gunther.

Global Mission

Global Mission

Jesus said, "All authority in Heaven and earth has been given to me, therefore, go and make disciples of all nations..." (Matt. 28:18-19). Whenever we obey God's call to be disciples who make disciples, we experience the blessing of witnessing first-hand how the gospel makes a real difference in the world.

We have relationships with the Diocese of Northern Uganda in Gulu and the Dioces of Peru in Lima. For more information, talk to Ann Edenfield or any of our missions team this Sunday in the Connections Corridor.

A Prayer for our Parish

Dear Heavenly Father,

Together we are united with the saints of the household of God; built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ himself being the cornerstone. In Christ alone our church is being joined together, and is growing into a holy temple of the Lord by the Spirit. By Your wisdom may we discern what You want us to build; Through Jesus Christ our Lord and the power of the Holy Spirit,

Amen.
