“May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” - Ephesians 3:19

“Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls.’ ” - Matthew 11:28-29

“Jesus said to the people, ‘I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t be stumbling through the darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.’”- John 8:12

“Jesus said, ‘When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.’” - John 14:3

“We are made right in God’s sight when we trust in Jesus to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done. For all have sinned. All fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty. He has done this through Jesus, who had freed us by taking away our sins.” - Romans 3:22-24

“So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God.” - Hebrews 4:16

“I no longer call you servants. … Now you are my friends.”- John 15:15

Children: Children of all ages are always welcome to attend worship service with their family. Settle also provides a nursery for ages 0-3 starting at the 9 a.m. Sunday School hour and running through the conclusion of both worship services. For children preschool-Grade 5, Settle offers Sunday School at 9 a.m. in the Education Building, and for preschool-Grade 2, we also offer children's church, where children sit with their parents at the beginning of worship and exit worship as a group after our children's message. Drop off/pickup for all children's activities are in the Education Building.
