How We Relate to the World as Disciples of Jesus Christ
Scripture Reading 1 Peter 2:1-12
Sermon Text: John 17:13-19
Wednesdays | 6:30 PM
Never have the headlines been this jarring, the cultural changes this rapid, or the moral decay this pronounced. What on earth is happening? After each new occurrence, the most oft-heard questions are, “Will the world ever be the same again?” and “Where is God in all of this?”
One can't afford to ignore these warnings, but all can better understand the greater story and the role we each play in this changing world. From prophetic clues in Scripture to an understanding of the power of Christ in all believers, this video series by Dr. David Jeremiah directs us on a clear path forward.
Everyone is invited to join us Wednesdays at 6:30 PM. Childcare is available.

4th Annual 2017 Discovery Church Campout
Friday September 8th and Saturday the 9th, we have rented campsites numbered 285 through 296 and spots 298 and 299 at East Midway, Lewis and Clark Lake Campground. There are 14 spots in our camping loop which can accommodate tents, travel trailers and RV's with electricity provided at each campsite. The State Park rules are, "One unit per site." 

We will also have a bean bag toss competition, a candy guess, plus we'll see if we can't talk Doug Frederick into bringing his guitar to sing around the campfire at night. Bring your own chairs. 

Everyone, please bring food to share at 6:30 pm on Friday and 5:00 pm on Saturday for a buffet style dinner. We need desserts, chips, pop, ice, main dishes. We will have horse rides Saturday at 1 pm! Saturday morning we will have Taylor O'Bryan show his pancake artistry for breakfast. More info to come on that as we are trying to plan to make breakfast for everyone that morning! The cost is $40 per campsite for the entire weekend!

Also, Saturday afternoon, time to be determined, we will have a baptism service for anyone who wishes to be baptized. If anyone is interested in being baptized, please contact Pastor Jon or via  email .
