2019 Youth Explosion, Church-Wide Prayer, Mass Shootings (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/4)


The 2019 Overcomers Youth Explosion for grades 6th-12th will be August 23-25. On Friday, the 23rd there will be a Game Night (6:00pm- 9:00pm), on Saturday, the 24th there will be a College Fair (9:00am- 12:00pm), and then going to watch the movie "Overcomers" at 2:00pm, and concluding with Youth Sunday on the 25th. Don’t forget to register online by August 20.



Our Back 2 School Drive starts today through 8/25.  We'll be collecting donations for West Cary Middle School and the Oxford Children's Home.



With two mass shootings this weekend, one in El Paso, Texas and the other in Dayton, Ohio, we know that prayer is greatly needed. Everyone is invited to join us for our next Church-Wide Prayer Gathering on Tuesday, August 6th, from 7:00pm to 8:00pm. You can also submit your prayer requests online.

We took the time to condemn racism in any form (white nationalism, etc.) because regardless of people's skin color, immigration status, politics, social standings, etc., they are made in the image of God and their lives matter and deserve dignity. We also took the time to pray for the families devastated by these wicked and evil acts.

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...
