Weekend Update
Genuine Love
. Our lessons this weekend focus around the heart of discipleship. Beginning with St. Paul's call from his letter to the Romans to "Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor," and then hearing Jesus' instructions for his followers to deny themselves and pick up their cross, we hear our goal as true disciples is to love from the very depths of our soul, without exception or limit. Sacrificial love is the way to imitate Jesus as we journey as pilgrims through the world.
. Durham Harris, director of youth and family ministries, will be preaching this Sunday. Looking forward to seeing you as together we strive to love with genuine hearts and minds.
Here are the latest opportunities to strengthen
your faith, serve like Jesus, and connect with the community.
Youth Group Begins An Exciting Year

Last weekend was a great kick-off dinner for parents and youth! Durham outlined an exciting year centering upon the theme captured by the prophet Amos: "But let justice roll down like waters,and righteousness like an everflowing stream." EYC jumps right into living this out with a great trip to the Center for Civil and Human Rights Museum on Saturday (9/2).

The summer mission trip plans were unveiled! Mission Trip 2k18 will be to Navjao-Nation June 25-July1, 2018. This trip is for all middle and high school youth. Space will be limited, so please watch for more details in the coming weeks. For questions or more information, come to EYC each Sunday or contact Durham.
