Thanks to everyone that was able to participate in Sunday afternoon’s Congregational Meeting. It was great to go over the process on the property development and discuss new developments. We also made a couple decisions. If you missed the meeting, tough luck! No, just give Pastor Joe a call and he will give you the… Continue Reading
Change My World
There is much talk about change. There is nothing wrong with change. Change is often needed. What I have noticed is that most change seems to be closely linked with a victim-hood. The emphasis seems to be on the responsibility of other people to change and even for them to lead the change. The Bible… Continue Reading

Just a reminder that this Sunday afternoon (June 10th) there will be a Congregational Meeting at the Ministry Center to begin the discussion of possibly selling the Ministry Center.

Rejoice Always

The Value of Our Own Facility
Let me be honest. Life change is very scary! Yet when there is no change there is no growth. Think about this for a moment… Every advancement in your life required change. We should not be surprised that Jesus calls His followers to embrace Biblical change. Our SDAP Offering this Sunday is one of those… Continue Reading
My Prayers Never Expire
It seems like almost everything has a shelf life or is designed for obsolescence. It could be the container of milk in the fridge or the dish washer that conveniently breaks a couple days after the warranty has expired. The expiration dates remind us that much of the stuff in our lives is temporal. It… Continue Reading
