Welcome New Member, VBS, Mental Health Awareness (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/28)

Please keep Minister of Music Spence Martin and his family in your prayers after the passing of his mother.

Welcome to the following New Member who completed NMO and his membership interview: Howard Evans 

Vacation Bible School will be 6/21-23, 6:30-8:30pm (nightly with dinner), and then wrap up on Sunday, 6/25. How do I get involved? Oh, we are so glad you asked! There is something for everyone! You can sign up to participate in skits, teach, decorate, facilitate activities, clean up, and/or set up for the next day of events. If none of the above sounds exciting enough or you are feeling really amped to get involved in other ways, check out our Amazon wish list and donate some of the really neat activities, décor, and/or supplies. l For questions or more information, contact Tina Wyche.


May is Mental Health Awareness. We need to break the stigma in the church. This week, our goal will be to encourage individuals to seek help if they need it, as well as show the importance of supporting others by offering words of encouragement and celebrating small successes. Let’s support each other and make it okay to reach out and seek help whenever we need it. Be aware of the signs and symptoms of mental health issues so that we can all work together to support one another. If you are worried about your mental health or are worried about someone you know, there are resources and people out there and at this church who are willing to help, no matter what your situation is. Deaconess Tasha Smith and Minister Rasheeda Oliver are great resources at the church. Whether we share resources, encourage others to seek help, or simply are there for someone when they need us, we instill hope and can help others to reach out when they need it most.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day. Many people think that Memorial Day weekend is just about kicking off summer, vacation, or sales. But Memorial Day is a time for us to remember the men and women who have died in military service to their country. So as you cook out with family and friends and enjoy the freedoms of this country, take some time to remember those who have died and pray for the comfort of their families.

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 ...

My Hope Sunday, M:T Not a Competition, Prayer Gathering (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/13)

Today was My Hope Sunday ! We had several invited guests, and my message was from 1 Samuel 8:4-9 on "Looking for a Savior".  Israel wanted a king like the other nations who would “save” them. This is the very definition of a functional savior. A functional savior is anything or anyone a person looks to for ultimate hope, security, identity, or fulfillment in place of God. Whatever you look to to “save” you from your problems, fears, or insecurities is your functional savior. But all of our functional saviors cannot save us. Jesus is the Savior we really need!  Our greatest need in this life and the life to come is to have our sins forgiven by trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Savior! Today, my wife shared her My Hope Testimony .   (RSS Subscribers: click here to watch the video) Missions:Together’s "Not a Competition" is a powerful missions gathering designed to re-ignite your passion for missions on Saturday, November 2, hosted at The Summit Church in Apex.
