Upcoming Events
Fall Wednesday Night Book Group: Wednesdays 6:30-7:30 pm (begins Sept 11th)
We live in a very polarizing time. How are we, as Christians, to live when there is so much conflict and division in our country and around the world? How can we show Christ’s love toward people we have such strong disagreements with, even our enemies?
The book Exclusion and Embrace by Miroslav Volf addresses these questions and provides a vision of a way to be and act as followers of Jesus. It is a very biblical, extremely helpful, and challenging guide to many of the issues that we are facing.

The book Exclusion and Embrace by Miroslav Volf addresses these questions and provides a vision of a way to be and act as followers of Jesus. It is a very biblical, extremely helpful, and challenging guide to many of the issues that we are facing. Please join us this fall for an eight-week study of the book. We will meet on zoom on Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 7:30, starting the second week of September.
The first session will cover the introduction and chapter 1. The following weeks we will focus on a Bible story the author uses to illustrate and analyze the topics of the chapter. We’ll cover Abraham, Cain and Abel, the Prodigal Son, and other stories.

The Shepherd Program
We are excited to bring to you a new service opportunity! We are calling it, “The Shepherd Program”. Coming out of COVID, we as a congregation, need to find new ways to build connectional relationships. This is a great opportunity for you to share your gifts by helping people feel better connected to their Church Family. Your duties are simply to call people, inquiring how they are doing. For example, over a two month period you have ten people to call. (A minimum of one time.).
Our Church Family is growing, and this is one of the many ways that can bring us into better connectional relationships. Please consider becoming part of this vital program. Questions, please don’t hesitate to call Shawne at 520-275-6388.
