““God is the highest good of the reasonable creature. The enjoyment of God is our proper; and is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Better than fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of any, or all earthly friends. These are but shadows; but the enjoyment of God is the substance. These are but scattered beams; but God is the sun. These are but streams; but God is the fountain. These are but drops, but God is the ocean.”

-Jonathan Edwards

 An Exciting New Approach to Service!

In an effort to maximize our impact and help you to grow, we’re making an improvement to how we serve. Service projects will still take place on the second Saturday of each month…but this year we’ll also have quarterly themes! During each quarter our projects will relate to a particular area of need:

o  Q1 2021: Poverty and Housing

o  Q2 2021: Addiction and Recovery

o  Q3 2021: Children and Youth

o  Q4 2022: Environment

It’s not too late to sign up for a small group. We have lots of great options! Email Shannon to learn more about the options and get connected!

Your young adult council would love to hear any feedback that you have about our ministry. Are there things that you love? Things that you wish we were doing? Anything we can improve or ideas that you have? Let Ruffin, our 2021 YA Council Chair, know by clicking HERE.
