Hope you are having a great week and are ready for some summertime temps this weekend! Join us Sunday as we welcome guest missionary, Nathan Turney.   Nathan and his wife, Lisa, are missionaries to New Zealand.  They are working to reach the lost and establish a community of vibrant Christ followers through an international church plant in Auckland.  With over 1.6 million ethnically diverse residents, Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand.  Fifty percent of the nearly 5 million residents of New Zealand reject religious connections of any kind, and world religions such as Islam and Hinduism are on the rise.  A spirit-filled church plant in Auckland would not only affect New Zealand but would also reach many other nations with the truth and power of the gospel. You will hear more of how God is moving in Auckland and how you can help Sunday morning. You should have received an email earlier this week with information about the Christians United for Isrea...

This Sunday, May 9th, is Mother's Day!  I guarantee that you either are a mom, know a mom, or have a mom - so let's celebrate all moms this weekend!  Let's remember the moms who have gone before us, think of the moms who will come in the future, help the moms who are in the middle of it and honor the Spiritual moms who pour into our lives every week!! Pastor Troy will have a special encouraging message this Sunday for all the women in our congregation - and I'm sure it will bless the men as well!  PT will resume the study of Acts next week, so now's a great time to get caught up if you've missed any.  Remember, the recordings of our live-stream can always be found on our YouTube channel. This Sunday we will also kick off the big push for VBS.  Check out the VBS table in the back of the sanctuary to register kids/grandkids, pick up resources to invite others, grab a prayer card to remember to pray for this event, volunteer to help, or pick up a list of items we ...

Happy Thursday!  I hope you have thawed out and your outdoor plants survived the freeze this week.  Thank God it will be very short lived, as I shared in my personal blog, It's Temporary!   Pastor Troy started to dig into Acts as he continued with the sermon series, ACTS - Power for the Last Days .  If you've missed the first two in the series, or may be out of town in the next several weeks, you can always catch up on our YouTube channel. Wednesday, April 28, the Young at Heart Luncheon is back!  All who are 50 and older are invited to join others for some old songs, timely devotionals, and of course food!  The event starts at 11 AM and is held in the Fellowship Hall.  If you have any questions, see Pastor Mark. There are lots of events coming up in May: And don't forget we still need volunteers to help with VBS in June.  If you'd like to help you can sign up HERE .
