"GOD IS . . ."
SERMON SERIES
There's no getting around it--life is tough. And much of the time, many of us feel anxious. Or invisible. Hopeless. Lost. But the Bible has good news for those who struggle: God loves us, and he is the one who can meet all of our needs. This Sunday, we'll continue our teaching series called, "God Is . . . ," where we explore Biblical names for God that give us a window into who he really is. Join us this Sunday and bring a friend!

THIS SUNDAY | SEPTEMBER 15 | BOTH SERVICES
On Sunday, September 15, we will celebrate baptism in both of our morning worship services, and we would love for you to be a part of it! If you are a follower of Jesus but have never been baptized, this is a great opportunity to take that step. If God has been nudging you to be baptized, we'd love to visit with you about it!
