So The Shack movie has hit the theaters (based on the best-selling book). It's Christian fiction and I would not even address it (there have been other fictional movies depicting God like Oh, God! and Bruce Almighty ) except for the fact that it's being marketed as something churches should be studying. They have a 5-week campaign and study designed to "help people experience the life-changing goodness, grace, and presence o

We had a wonderful My Hope Sunday. A good number of guests were present. The Gospel was presented throughout the service, a young lady came forward for rededication, and we had a good time of fellowship afterward. All glory to God! The sermon was "The God Who Forgives Sin" from Mark 2:1-12 (as part of our series in Mark). The paralytic along with his friends came in faith to Jesus and received far more than they expected but got exactly what was needed. The paralytic received the full forgiveness of sins.

The season of Lent has started (40 days to Easter not counting Sundays). Check out this video from Pastor Matt Chandler on the significance of prayer and fasting during Lent.

A partial fast is where you choose to abstain from certain foods and drinks instead of complete abstinence of all foods. Others may choose to fast from television, computer, newspaper, hobbies, etc. This will help you free up some time to spend in prayer and reflection. Here are some things to pray about during your fast: your discipleship (walk with Christ) and for boldness and empowerment to disciple someone else. Join us again on Wednesday at 7pm for our Bible Study series called the Journey. This Wednesday, we'll look at Jesus teaching His disciples. Disciples are called to learn about Jesus and learn from Jesus. Mark your calendar for our Spring Spruce Up on 3/25 from 9am to 12pm. All are invit
