Singles Gathering, Community Life Fair, My Hope Sunday (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/29)

We welcome our newest member who completed her NMO and membership interview: Davin Edwards 

The Singles Ministry is having a Singles Fellowship Gathering on Saturday, October 5th, 4:00pm at Gab's Place (the address is in the Realm event). All singles (never married, divorced, widowed) of all ages are welcome but please RSVP if you plan to attend. 

 

 

Please come out and support our Community Life Fair on 10/5. The event will be indoors. There will be something for everyone! We've added a Career Development Sessions so bring your resume and/or questions and meet with our expert for 15 minutes and freshen up your resume or ask any interviewing questions you may have. We're also having Senior Saints Day Part 2. Any senior saints who need transportation to the church, please contact sister Aretha Cooper or any member of the Care Ministry or the church office by Wednesday, 10/2 to coordinate the pick-up. 


Don't forget that next Sunday, 10/6, we will have our Mortgage Burning Ceremony immediately after the service.

My Hope Sunday is October 13. All of our members are asked to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever or unchurched person to join us at church on My Hope Sunday. One of the speakers at M:T NYC said, “When grace came down to us, there's a comma, not a period”. God's grace of salvation should never end with us but should be shared with others. We will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ at My Hope Sunday especially in light of this contentious election year. At the Welcome Center, we have commitment cards where you can write down the name(s) of those you are committed to inviting. We will collect the commitment cards on next Sunday, 10/6. Start inviting them this week. We will be sharing testimonies from members about their hope in Christ leading up to My Hope Sunday.

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...
