This Sunday I will be preaching from these verses: 11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, 12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever. Psalm 30:11-12 (NKJV) The sermon title is "Dancing at the Funeral Home"  In Psalm 30 God moves His servant David from the depths of despair to joy so great he had to dance.  What must transpire to see this marvelous transformation?  Join us this Sunday morning as we seek to learn from the Bible how to cope with the sorrows of our lives. Harry Newman is the teacher of our largest adult Sunday School class, he has been teaching the Bible for over 30 years.  Harry is a popular lay speaker at our church and this Sunday night he will be taking us on an Adventure in Scripture.  He will begin in the book of James and then introduce us to several major Bible characters who point us to the basics of living in a closer walk with God.  Hope you will join us this Sunday night at 6 PM in the worship center.

Mission Trip is almost here

This Sunday morning we continue in our series "Home".  Throughout this series we have been looking at the church as a place where we grow our faith.  We have talked about many different facets of the church's input into the growth process.  This week we are looking at the subject, "A Place Where I Experience Life".  It is often through our life experiences that our faith does much of its growing.  The church can be a valuable ally in helping us grow through these experiences.  Have you ever gone through a difficult time and wondered how people who didn't have a church family made it?  Join us this Sunday as we discuss the church our home as a place where we experience life together. 23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."               1 Corinthians 11:23-24 (NKJV)  Jeff will be bringing a message from this passage found in the Bible and leading us in communion.

"Home Sermon Series Continues

Follow us on Facebook

This Sunday morning we continue in our series "Home".  This week I will be looking atHome: A Place Where We Find Relationship  In this series we are discussing how God uses His church to grow our faith.  Was there someone that God placed in your life that was a key reason your faith grew?  As we reflect on our faith journey we often identify these key players who made all the difference in the world.  Who was it that made that important difference?   Are you that person in someone else's life?  Do you want to be?  Join us as talk about relationships that make a huge difference in the growth of our faith. 7.28.13   A Place Where we find relationship (Relationships) Billy  8.4.13     A Place Where we experience life   (Circumstances) Billy  Are We Determined? 1 And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 2 Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by fourmen. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you." Mark 2:1-5 (NKJV)  11 I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house." 12 Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!" Mark 2:11-12 (NKJV)  Jeff Riley will be preaching this Sunday night, plan to join us as he teaches on this exciting passage of scripture. What an absolutely amazing week!!! Words can not express my gratitude for the number of volunteers that put in countless hours to make VBS happen! Most importantly I stand amazed at what God has done this week through VBS. We had a total of 19 children accept Christ as Savior is week. Sunday we had 188 in attendance, Monday 195, Tuesday 177, Wednesday 196, and tonight 189! Indeed we serve an Awesome God (Thanks everybody!!!)-Jeff After a week of VBS, I am completely amazed by the almost thirty fifth and sixth graders I got to be a crew leader to. I enjoyed every day and wouldn't change a single minute of the whole experience. Those kids made such a big impact on my life as I hope the week made an impact on theirs.  (Amber is a college student who attends Faith)
