*CHURCH GROUNDS FALL CLEAN-UP TOMORROW!
Saturday, November 11, 10am-Noon!
|
The Landscape Team is having a fall church yard clean up this Saturday! We will be picking up sticks, doing some light mulching (nothing like the spring!), planting some daffodil bulbs, and cutting back some plants along the driveway, church sign, and Memorial Garden. If you have gardening gloves or clippers that would be helpful, but not necessary. We will have bottled water, donuts ,and warm cider to enjoy as well. Please prayerfully consider coming to help tomorrow morning. Even if you can participate for part of the time, your help will be appreciated! Many hands make light work!

Sunday, November 12, 2017 - NEW SERMON SERIES! Veteran Recognition!
|
UNCERTAINTY, WISDOM, PEACE
The economy is an issue that is never far from our thoughts. In the past decade, America has experienced a financial roller coaster: languishing home prices, record setting markets, uncertainty overseas, low unemployment, consumer debt, and low wages… All of these things have left us looking for answers. It is difficult to discern the good news from the bad and it is times like these that call for wisdom and courage in our personal lives. Join us for this two-week sermon series, as we turn to biblical principles for insight and seek sound financial practices that lead to financial peace.
