Faith Connection: New Members at Faith

This Sunday Jeff will be preaching from John 13 on a "Portrait of a Servant" using Jesus Christ as his model. This Sunday is Servant Appreciation Sunday and we will be publicly thanking all of our volunteers for the countless hours that they invest in the Lord's work here at Faith.

Have you ever bought a new car and wondered how far you could drive after the gas pump symbol shows up on your dash? Sometimes in our spiritual life we try to drive too far on too little gas and the results are disastrous. Gideon had to learn directly from the Lord the importance of keeping your gas tank full. Join us this Sunday night at 6 PM in the worship center as we examine how Gideon refilled his spiritual fuel tanks. We will be spending some time in Judges 6, hope you can join us.
