Budgeting Workshop
This Sunday, we'll be talking about how we tether ourselves to God as we get better at defying financial gravity. Join JP and Jenn Coughlin for a 30-minute Dave Ramsey zero-based budgeting workshop at 10:45 am in H5, where Modern Family usually meets. It will help you prioritize and set aside money for what you truly need. Read More

Pastor's Message
Dear Friends in Faith,
Jesus spoke often about our loyalties and priorities in life. He was clear that no one can serve two masters. We sometimes think we can and fool ourselves. We try to juggle competing loyalties and demands and keep everyone happy. We simply cannot serve both God and money. We cannot serve God and any other loyalty (politics, career, pleasure, etc.). Our culture always pulls us to consume and buy.That’s a way financial gravity works on us. Most of us have more stuff than we need....

Pathways Spring 2017 Semester: Strength in International Missions
|
|
The Pathways Spring 2017 guidebook includes several paths you can take on your spiritual journey of the heart, mind, soul and strength. As two mission teams get ready to go to Costa Rica and Guatemala, listed under the Strength Pathway, we invite you to support them as Stakeholders. A gift of $25 or more helps pay for in-country supplies such as constructon materials and VBC curriculum. Please show your support by February 28. The Costa Rica team continues its partnership with the Methodist Orphanage of Costa Rica, Hogar Metodista and the Guatemala team will lead a medical team to provide medical services to people in rural areas. Both teams will hold Vacation Bible Camp programs. The Guatemala Team is also collecting prescription eyeglasses for the eye clinic. Donate your glasses in the labeled box in the church office.
