New Online Sunday School
“No Longer Slaves: Sons & Daughters of the King”
|
|
|
The greatest privilege of our salvation is the identity conferred on us through our adoption into God’s family: we are royal children possessing an inexhaustible inheritance. This truth frees us to live in light of this reality and compels us to worship such a generous God. This short class aims to encourage your love of the heavenly Father, your worship of the Son, and your keeping in step with the Spirit of adoption.
This is the second week of this three week class. The newest class is available on all of our online platforms beginning Sunday, March 28. Click here to learn more and to watch this online class series. |

Men's Retreat | May 14-16, 2021 |
|
|
What gives you heartburn? For most men it’s stress over work, paying bills, chasing success, their marriage, or how their favorite sports team is performing. Luke tells us that when two followers were with Jesus on the Emmaus road their hearts burned. There are many things that may cause us heartburn, but there’s only one person our hearts should burn for. Join us on the Men’s Retreat to learn how to free our hearts to burn for Jesus with Pastor Tom Groelsema as the speaker and Gavin Billings as the worship leader.
Two nights is $144 and a one-night stay is $100. Rates include a shared room, four meals (3 meals for a one-night stay), planned group activity, and a bonfire. Hotel-style accommodations. Learn more and register by clicking here. Registration deadline is May 7.

Envision Capital Campaign
Construction is Coming Soon!
|
|
|
Beginning Monday, April 5, you will see protective fencing surrounding the areas of construction. The map above is to help inform you where parts of our parking lot and campus will be blocked off. For your safety, we ask that you do not cross the construction fencing once it is on campus.
The entrance to the North Lobby will be blocked off by construction fencing, so when you are coming into the worship center, please use the main entrance, the south entrance or the back entrance.

We invite you to join us in praying for our upcoming Envision Capital Campaign. Here are specific ways you can join us in prayer:
- The Project – Prayer for our administration team and the architect/contractor as we begin the partnership. (Psalm 127:1, 2)
- The Church – Prayer for unity and an embracing of the purpose of Envision. (Psalm 9:1, 2)
- The Mission – Prayer that we might see the bricks, mortar, covers, etc. as means to facilitate worship and outreach. (2 Chronicles 6:18-21)
