WORSHIP

Unfortunately due to technical difficulties we have been unable record the Sunday messages for the past several weeks and will not be able to until the system has been replaced.

Let Us Know...

Please be sure to fill out a Connect Card each week to let us know you were at church and how the staff can be praying for you. You can also sign-up for Wednesday Night Supper that way. For those of you who regularly fill them out - THANK YOU!

The Answer is...

There is a new question in the Bulletin this week. In preparation for the coming year we are trying to determine who would like to have an Offering Envelope Book. This is a book of 52 weeks worth of offering envelopes. The question has three parts:

Did you get an offering envelop book at the beginning of the year? YES or NO

If YES would you like one for 2017? YES or NO

If NO would you like one for 2017? YES or NO

As you answer this question please be sure to put your name on the Connect Card. - Thanks

Coming up Sunday:

We finish up Acts, Part 1: Building the Church with a message from Pastor Rachael titled The Unusual Prayer using Acts 4:23-31
