Welcome New Members, Caregivers Corner, Theological Seminar (Pastoral Emphasis for 3/30)

Bereavement

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families in our congregation who are experiencing loss:

  • Minister of Music Spence Martin – grieving the passing of his brother.

  • Calvin Gray – mourning the loss of his aunt.

  • Bro. Tim Rolle – a frequent visitor who sat in the back row, has passed. He was an active participant in our Men’s Image Bearers meetings and was known for his joyful spirit. Even when using a cane or wearing a boot, he never let anything stop him from dancing and praising the Lord. His faith and joy were an inspiration to us all.

Let’s keep these families in our prayers and offer them love and support in this difficult time.

Theological Seminar: Race & the Gospel

 

Join us for a thought-provoking seminar on Saturday, April 12th, 2025, from 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM, as we discuss Race & the Gospel in light of Scripture.

📖 Guided by: Ephesians 2:11–16
📌 Key Questions:

  • Why do conversations about race continue to arise?

  • Is race merely a social construct?

  • How should Christians engage with racial reconciliation through the gospel?

At a time when racial tensions remain a challenge, the Church has a unique opportunity to lead with Christ-centered love and truth. We invite you to come with an open mind and heart as we explore this important discussion together.

📍 This event is free and open to all!


No Communion Next Sunday

Just a reminder: There will be no Communion next Sunday. As always, we will celebrate Communion on Easter Sunday as we rejoice in the resurrection of our Lord!

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 ...
