Thanks to all everyone who came this week and all who volunteered to make this event possible. What a fun night with a delicious pancake dinner, fellowship and fun on the night before Lent began. Shout out to our Men's Ministry for cooking! We also had a lot of fun with the photo op this year too! Enjoy the photos!

Lent Small Groups Begin Next Week!

Sign up on Sunday or Online

Join this churchwide study, "Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts and Outlaws." Pastor and bestselling author, Adam Hamilton explores the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus as told in the Gospel of Luke. Through Luke's stories we find Jesus' care and compassion for all as He welcomes sinners and outcasts. As we study Luke and see Jesus' concern for those who were considered unimportant, we hear a hopeful and inspiring word for our lives today.

This 5-week study will meet on Wednesdays during Lent beginning March 1st at 7pm in the Worship Center to watch a short video before breaking into small groups around campus. An online option is also available. Child Care will be provided.
