Upcoming Events, August 25, 2019 edition

  • At the end of the Service of Affirmation, every student in our church will have an envelope available to be picked up by our adult church members. All we ask of our adults is to keep these students in their ongoing prayers as well as communicate with them on a periodic basis. This is a simple task that has eternal impact. Please pray about being part of this invaluable ministry.

  • Max Lucado says that many Christians underestimate what happened to them upon conversion. Trusting Christ is more than a removal of sin. It is a deposit of power. “Could you use more energy? You have it. More kindness? It’s yours. Could you use some self-control, self-discipline, or self-confidence? God has already given them to you. You just need to claim your inheritance.” (Lucado)
    Join us for our study of Glory Days by Max Lucado. Our study begins Wednesday, September 11 at 6:30 pm. This is a 7-8 week study. Our time will be led by Steve Loftis. Please sign up at the Welcome Desk.

  • We often think of idols as ancient graven images or golden calves, but God’s people still battle idolatry every day. Our idols look more familiar-money, fame, power, work, ministry, and people. We serve these gods above the one true God and miss the unrivaled joy of following and knowing Jesus Christ.
    This 8-week study, No Other Gods, will help identify the gods you may be unknowingly serving and the lies they tell you. The study will meet Wednesday nights at 6:30 starting July 10th, led by Mary Keltner and Lee Loftis. No worries if you have to miss a week for vacation…video is available online.
