New Sermon Series: Witnesses

New Sermon Series: Witnesses

In Acts we see God’s people called to tell of all they have witnessed in Jesus and we are invited into that call as well. We will be starting this new sermon series on the book of Acts starting this Sunday. We will have some additional resources that will be sent out for you to dive deeper into the book throughout this series. Join us every Sunday during this series!

Communion This Sunday

We are excited to begin our new sermon series in Acts, “Witnesses”. In Acts, we get to see how the new community of Christ followers live, love and share the Good News that is rooted in Christ’s resurrection. The Holy Spirit moves powerfully among them as they trust Him and are led by Him. 

As a community, the 1st Century Church continued to take communion together as they gathered. “On the first day of the week we came together to break bread.” – Acts 20:7

Breaking bread was a crucial part of their gathering. As a community, during this series, we want to break bread (take communion) together each Sunday. This is a great time for us to remember what the Lord has done, to remember how Jesus nourishes us, and to remember to look forward to Christ’s return. We are excited to see where God leads us as we lean into Him, and continue to make Jesus’s life, death and resurrection the center of our lives.

Parenting Through The Phases Workshop 

You have approximately 936 weeks from the time your child is born until he or she graduates from high school. It goes by fast, and kids change and grow quickly. It’s as if they shift or move on just as you’re starting to figure them out. It all makes the responsibility to shape a child’s faith and character feel overwhelming. This workshop will give you some tools and resources to maneuver through each phase. July 21st, July 28th & August 4th 9-11:30.
