Fall Bible Studies For Adults 2021

Come Grow Your Faith with Us!

Shane talks often about the disciplines which act as catalysts to help our faith grow. Studying the Bible is one of them. As we are all ā€œworks in progress,ā€ I hope youā€™ll join one (or more) of the studies offered. Copies of the details can be found in your email inbox or around the church. If you have any questions about any of them, please reach out to the leader or to me. Registration is not required for any of them, but if you want to join me (and Louis Giglio from RightNow media) as we look at the Book of Acts and need the Zoom link, please send me an email.

August 22, 2021, Traditional Service, Promotion Sunday for Third Graders

For our regularly scheduled broadcasts at 11am and 1pm, we were having technical difficulties. We apologize for the inconvenience but wanted to make sure that you got to see this week’s recorded service! Today is Confirmation Sunday and Third Graders were given Bibles. We have re-instated the Passing of the Peace and the Children’s Sermon into the service for the first time in over a year! In announcements, we were reminded that TODAY is our Back-to-School Bash at 5:30pm in the Quad! (Remember towels for the slip n’ slides and wet bouncy houses!) Last, but certainly not least, this sermon is the continuation of a Series on Prayer. This week’s focus is Intercessory Prayer. Thank you for your patience and we send our blessings! #growingfaith
