Sermon Series - The Christian Family
Paul calls marriage a profound mystery. Throughout the Bible both marriage and family are seen as foundational for healthy life and healthy society. Through godly marriages and families, God's relationship with us is mirrored, godly character is formed, and our faith is passed on to the next generation. In this series, we will look at the purpose and covenant of marriage. We will explore the relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, and even employers and employees. This is a series about love and relationships, the very heart of our Christian faith and our lives in Christ.

Sunday, April 9, both services. All kids (3 years - 5th grade) have been invited to wave palm branches and help portray a part of the Bible story from John 12:12-15 during a song at both services. This is not a requirement, but it would be so nice to have a large group of kids to make an impact on our congregation for Palm Sunday.
If your child would like to participate, please have them meet Mrs. Jennings in the fellowship hall at
8:40am. After they wave the palms, they will be dismissed to children's worship or back to parents to sit through the service. We would ask them to join us again at the beginning of second service in the fellowship hall. Kids can be picked up downstairs after they are done. You could then return to service or leave.
