Fall Kick Off 2022 // TODAY!

It’s hard to believe that we are heading into the fall and that summer has come to a close. This year’s Fall Kick Off will be on September 25th. Come and enjoy some food and fellowship! God has placed people in your life where you live, work and play. Would you pray for those in your 8-15 and those surrounding you? “God who in my life could I invite to meet you for the first time? God I pray that you would use me to make a difference in their lives.”
Our hope is that as everyone starts to get back into their normal routine that God would be at the center of their lives. Invite your friends to join us after the 10:30 service!

Colombia Church Plant

God is doing amazing things at the church we helped plant in Colombia. The building is currently under construction but that hasn’t stopped the believers there. The church is making a difference in the community and meeting under a tree to worship and have service. Please continue to pray for Colombia as their COVID numbers have increased recently.
