MLK events, Sanctity of Human Life Sunday (Pastoral Emphasis from 1/18)

Don't forget to order your free audio CDs of the "Practical Atheist" series and "God is Waiting for You" (last year's Christmas message). Whether you're hearing them again or for the first time, I'm sure that these messages will bless you and strengthen your walk with God. And you can also order some to give away. It's good to share the Word of God with others.

Men's Ministry would like to invite the sons of single mothers to attend this year's Men's Retreat. All youth under the age of 17 are free. A man will chaperone and be a big brother to each young man during the retreat. Please sign up at the Welcome Center.

Reminder: There are two ministry kickoffs on Saturday. The Girls Enrichment ministry at 9am and the Youth Ministry at 5:30pm.

The Church Family Meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 26th at 7:00pm. All members are asked to be present. We have some exciting ministry announcements so you won't want to miss it.

Check out community section of website for local MLK events for tomorrow.

2008 Contribution Statements are available at the Welcome Center for pickup during the month of January.

Today is the annual celebration of the Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. Over 40 million babies have been aborted since 1973. There are 1 million abortions each year in the US, 300,000 in NC, and 10,000 in Wake County. The Bible says in Psalm 139:13-14 (NIV): "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well". My prayer is for the healing and restoration of all families that have been affected by abortion.

Mortgage Burning Ceremony (10.6.24)

Today is a day of celebration and gratitude as we come together to witness the burning of our church’s mortgage! This moment represents years of faith, commitment, and sacrificial giving from this congregation. It’s a testament to God’s faithfulness and the dedication of His people. What we are celebrating today is not just the end of a financial obligation, but the beginning of new possibilities for missions, outreach, and service in our community.   ---     Psalm 127:1 says, ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.’   This building has been more than just bricks and mortar; it has been a spiritual home where so many lives have been touched by the gospel. We recognize that while we’ve paid off the mortgage, it is the Lord who has truly built this house, sustaining us through every season.   --- History of the Vision         Though this chapter is closing, the mission God has ...
