Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity
Our sermon series
Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity
is in full swing! Last Sunday our topic was “When Dreams Become Nightmares.” We saw how the American Dream contrasts with God’s vision, and how God’s vision brings joy that the American Dream never can.
This Sunday our topic will be “Wisdom and Finance.” We will look at the biblical principles of money management and discover how they apply to our daily lives. I invite you to join us for this informative and practical message. You also will receive several tools that will help you in your own financial planning. See you on Sunday!
Schedule
October 14 “Wisdom and Finance”
October 21 “Cultivating Contentment”
October 28 “Defined by Generosity”
November 4 Consecration Sunday

BLESSINGS BOX
Our Blessings Box is getting utilized by the community, which is great, but that also means that it is getting emptied out quite frequently. Please consider donating non-perishable food items, diapers, personal care items and snack food items (goldfish, raisins, etc) if you are able.
One person from the community told us she visits the Blessings Box at least twice a week and is especially grateful for the diapers and kid friendly foods. She says she stops by on the way to take her kids to the park and can almost always find a snack for them.

Youth Sunday School
Spending time in community with other believers is an important part of every student’s spiritual journey. That’s why
Bible Studies for Life: Students
is designed around a plan to help disciple to students with wisdom, starting with real-life issues and connecting them to God’s Word in an intentional way.
|
|
- Welcome Home (Unit 1): Words are an important part of communication, but they only make up a small portion of what we communicate to others. We want to have welcoming churches and student ministries, but we first have to evaluate what we are really communicating through our behavior. We might be saying the right words, but do visitors truly feel accepted?
- In this study, we’ll take a look at what it means to show true hospitality to our neighbors.
