Many of our parents instructed us early in life, “If you have nothing nice to say… you shouldn't say anything at all.” Our words have the power to lift up or tear down, to bring people together or divide. As Christians, how do we live in a world torn apart by hurtful words? And in response, how do we use our voices to bless others? Join us for a sermon series as we explore the critical importance of our words in an age where very few nice things are being said.

Join us on the lawn for some beautiful music and a message before they're over!

Wayne Church is hosting a Trunk or Treat in our parking lot THIS Sunday, October 25^th from 3-4 pm for kids ages 2 through 8^th grade. Now here’s a great reason to come together (in a socially distant way) because we all need a little fun! Come out for some TRUNK or TREAT silliness! Questions? Contact Christine Garton below for more info.

The next book up for discussion will be Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson which is an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice. We plan to meet on December 7 at 7pm (most likely on Zoom) for discussion.

This year, the Wednesday morning Bible study (meeting weekly on Zoom) will do an in depth look at the Letter to the Hebrews. Whereas Paul saw himself primarily as an apostle to the gentiles, the unknown author of this letter preaches the gospel to believers who have come to Christ out of the context of Judaism. Join us as we explore how the Israelite tradition informs our understanding of who Jesus is and what He is calling His followers into. New members should contact Katie McNabb at katesend@aol.com to get the Zoom sign in.

Dates: 11/4, 11/18, 12/2, 1/6, 1/20, 2/3, 2/17

All ladies are invited to join in this new Bible study exploring “Be the Bridge; Pursuing God’s Heart for Racial Reconciliation”  by Latasha Morrison. In an era where we seem to be increasingly divided along racial lines, many are hesitant to step into the gap, fearful of saying or doing the wrong thing. At times the silence, particularly within the church, seems deafening. Join us to learn more! This will be a zoom study until it is safe to meet in person. Each week we will read a chapter and answer the reflective questions at the end of each chapter. This is flexible, attend as you are able each week, but please let Kimm know so she can send you the zoom invite. You do not need to let Kimm know when you can’t attend.

Please join us from your home as we study the Book of Ruth. God can seem distant when dreams fade, people die, or careers fail. It may feel like he slammed the door in your face and walked out for good. No one knows the feeling of abandonment more than Ruth and Naomi. Their story begins with the worst—death, famine, and poverty. And God remains silent. But the book of Ruth doesn’t end with despair. The story brims with hope because God works on behalf of the two widows in ways they least expect, behind the scenes. On the surface, this book tells the story of two widows and a kind landowner. Even more, it teaches us about God’s faithfulness, love, and providence.
