We hope you are making plans to join us for a combined Sunday School this Sunday, November 19, at 9:00 am, in the sanctuary. This will be an important combined Sunday School for our youth and for all adults as Eric Russ, Pastor of Evangelism and Mobilization, is presenting the vision of outreach for the Matthews community. Come and learn how we can be a healthy outward facing church and how each of us can play a part in sharing the love of Christ with our community. Eric is also providing training on how we can engage with our neighbors, friends, and families during the upcoming holiday season. We hope you will make plans to join us at this special Sunday School.

Healing from divorce is not easy. Most people will say separation and divorce are the most painful and stressful experiences they’ve ever had.

Our DivorceCare Ministry is offering a “Surviving the Holidays” session Monday, December 4, from 6:30 pm-8:30pm in worship center room 211. At this session, people in separation and divorce will find tools, teaching, and support to help them deal with their pain and give them hope for the future.
