 Today, Minister Matt Darby preached today from 1 Samuel 21:10-15 and Psalm 34:1-10 on the topic "Fearing God Provides Deliverance".  We had our Church Family Meeting after the service. We covered several things, but here are some important highlights: Deacon Evens Thermitus will be the new Ministry Director of the Hospitality Ministry . Minister Kevin Coppage is taking a sabbatical to deal with some personal issues.  For the short term, Elder Cherry will be the acting Ministry Director of the Men's Ministry. Titus 2 will be reorganizing from the Sister Circles to focus on Discipleship, Fellowship, and Sacrificial Service. This will allow the ministry to meet all women's needs but not centered around age.

He is Risen, Bible Bowl, Ministry Open House (Pastoral Emphasis for 4/9)

Happy Resurrection Sunday !  Today, we gathered at our Sunrise Easter Service to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. On Good Friday, Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. But death couldn't hold Him because early on Sunday morning, Jesus got up from the grave!! The body that was laid there and entombed on Friday is not there on Sunday. The resurrection of Jesus proved that He is God and had the victory over sin, death, and Satan.
