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. If you attend the first service drop it in the offering plate as it goes by. If you attend the second service you can put the Connect Card in the offering boxes at the back of the Sanctuary. For those of you who regularly fill them out - THANK YOU!

Coming up This Weekend:
This Sunday marks the beginning of the Churches' season of Advent. Advent is a time when we prepare our hearts to celebrate the arrival of Jesus our Savior and Lord and it also a season when we look with anticipation toward His second coming. Join us all December as we follow Mary on her Journey to Joy. The 1st Sunday of Advent message will look at Hope.
