 Recently Came Forward

We rejoice in sharing that Chris Walker has rededicated his life to Jesus Christ.

What a wonderful reminder that God continues to pursue His people with grace and mercy. We celebrate Chris's renewed commitment to follow the Lord and pray that God will continue to strengthen and encourage him as he walks in faith.

Please join us in praying for Chris and encouraging him in this new season of discipleship.

Help Us Improve VBS

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's Vacation Bible School! We are grateful for the incredible week we shared together as we marveled at Jesus and lived for His glory.

If you attended VBS—as a participant, volunteer, teacher, or parent—we would greatly appreciate your feedback. Please take a few moments to complete the VBS survey by scanning the QR code. 

Your responses will help us celebrate what went well and identify ways to make next year's VBS even better.

 

Summer Bible Study Series Continues

We had a wonderful kickoff to our Wednesday Night Bible Study Summer Series as we began exploring Isaiah chapters 40–44 and God's message of comfort and restoration.

Thank you to everyone who joined us! If you haven't attended yet, there's still plenty of time to jump in.

Please go ahead and register in Realm for this Wednesday so we can prepare enough food for everyone. Dinner begins at 6:00 PM, followed by Bible study classes for adults, youth, and children at 7:00 PM.

We look forward to another encouraging evening of fellowship and studying God's Word together.

 

New Sermon Series

 

On 7/12, we begin a brand-new sermon series titled The Gospel According to Isaiah.

Although Isaiah was written centuries before the birth of Christ, it powerfully proclaims the good news of God's salvation through the promised Messiah. Throughout this series, we'll discover how Isaiah points us to Jesus and reveals God's plan of redemption, hope, comfort, and restoration.

We encourage you to invite family and friends to join us as we begin this exciting journey through one of Scripture's most remarkable books.

May God continue to encourage our hearts as we celebrate His work among us and grow together in His Word. We look forward to seeing you this Wednesday for Bible Study and next Sunday as we begin The Gospel According to Isaiah.

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community.  Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
