Daylight Savings Time begins on Sunday: set those clocks ahead


Ti me is so precious isn't it. We never seem to have enough of it.  As we talked about this past Lord's day, sometimes a period of 48 hours can make all the difference between a life lived for ourselves and the passionate purposeful life for Christ. Those who stayed behind after the feast in Nehemiah 8 made a purposeful decision to worship and then sign their name to a document promising a holier life. Our lives exist always in the shadow of eternity; with no guarantee that you or me will see the end to all those plans we have made. A church that loves God and loves you will tell you the truth.  It will not coddle you in a half-hearted tolerance of weak faith and low-level commitment. God matters; He loves you and He desires that you walk in truth. And lastly, He desires that you serve Him- for however long He permits you to live. MJC

The Year of the Disciple
AWANA MEETS HERE
AWANA changers lives... Has it changed yours?
Churches often struggle with how best to prepare their youth. A church that is not giving their youth solid meat in the form of good doctrine about their faith and It's Author is failing at the task of Deuteronomy 6. That's why we offer it as part of our youth program, along with an intentional youth group and loving nursery.
