Simply Suits Drive, Supply Drive for NC Flooding Victims, Twisted 3 (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/16)

Congrats to our newer members, Daquon and Ch'ressa Johnson on getting married yesterday.

Praise God for My Hope Sunday! Thanks to all who invited and had guest here.  I've already heard about some of the great conversations afterwards about how the message and videos really hit home.
As follow-up, talk with your guest about the sermon and their experience.  If your guest come to faith in Christ, we have materials that you can use to provide follow-up and discipleship.

From Oct. 23 to Nov. 12, we'll be having a Simply Suits Drive where you can bring in your used men's suits (that you've outgrown) to be donated to the Fathers Forever program, whose mission is to provide suits for men in unfavorable circumstances while working towards self-sufficiency.  In the Fathers Forever program, the men are setup with job interviews but they often don't have suits.  In addition to suits, you can donate dress shoes & socks, shirts, ties, and overcoats.

We all know that the Eastern part of our state was hit hard by Hurricane Matthew.


There are members who have family in these areas that have been impacted by the flooding.  So we'll be having a supply drive to help our neighbors who are need.  The supply drive will run at the same time as the Simply Suits Drive (10/23-11/12).  You can download the flyer with the items that are needed from here.

Mark your calendars for 10/30, we'll be having our church family meeting right after the service. Also, on that Sunday, I'll start the Twisted 3 series, where we'll be looking at more Scriptures that are often taken out of context like "an eye for an eye" or "give and it will be given to you, pressed down, shaken together, running over".

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 ...

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
