Bible Reading Plan, Oak City Academy, "Built upon the Rock" (Pastoral Emphasis for 1/4)

Happy New Year! We are going to be reading through the Bible again as a church family.  We're using the 52-week Bible reading plan that starts today.  Each day of the week is dedicated to a different genre: Epistles, The Law, History, Psalms, Poetry, Prophecy, and Gospels.  If you didn't get a copy of the reading plan at the church, you can download it here.

Join us for part 2 of the Bible Study series, "Exploring the Holy Spirit", starting on Wednesday.  We will examine some of the most debated and significant issues like blasphemy against the Spirit, Spirit Baptism, gifts of prophecy and tongues, and more.  You will not want to miss this series.  Come out and bring a friend.

As a part of our mission to serve our community, I had the opportunity to be introduced to Oak City Academy, a Classical Christian Montessori School in Raleigh.

I love that the school is helping students to have a biblical worldview.  There will be a brief meeting after the service on next Sunday with the school's director.  They're looking to diversify their teaching staff as well as partner with more African-American churches.

Married & engaged couples, today is the last day for you to sign up for the Oneness Life Group in Durham.  This Life Group will be exploring The 5 Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman.  Sessions will be held at the home of Deacon & Deaconess Spivey on the 2nd Saturdays of each month.  Please check with the Spiveys for questions and/or to sign up.



This is the 150th year of our church!  Our anniversary theme as well as our church theme for the year is "Built upon the Rock".  We're going to have an anniversary gala and more in September.  So stay tuned and get involved.

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community.  Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
