Connections Thursday, June 13, 2019

Scholastic Assistance Scholarships Awarded THIS Sunday, June 16th Traditional Worship at 9:30 AM Village Worship at 11:00 AM Don't miss a special celebration THIS Sunday in worship as we distribute the scholarships awarded from our Scholastic Assistance Fund. Let's surround our 11 scholarship recipients with our love and prayers.

Starting this week, we will be kicking off a new sermon series: The Well Played Life. What does it mean to live a life of meaning and consequence while maintaining a sense of adventure and playfulness? So much of our lives are consumed by competition and judgement, rather than joy and meaning. Join us in worship each week as we look to some of our favorite childhood games and our scriptures to learn life-lessons for how we can approach life more playfully, without taking ourselves too seriously, or missing the point entirely. Hope to see you there! For a preview of this week’s bulletin, click here .
