This Sunday:

"The Need for Discipleship"

Matthew 9:35-38

In-person and Live Stream to Facebook and YouTube at 10:30 AM

Hello Church!

“The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.

Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known.”

Psalm 19:1-2

I hope that you are enjoying the beauty of our spring weather – rain and all! Patti and I enjoy this time of year because we get to see and visit with many of our friends and family who do not live here but choose to vacation here. If you are having a similar experience, I hope that you time with family and friends is blessed with love and joy!

We continue our Lenten journey, preparing for Easter. I have been practicing periods of intermittent fasting and prayer during Lent and it really has helped to reel me back in to relationship with my Father. How are you preparing? Perhaps you gave something up for Lent?

I’d be interested in knowing.

We have an exciting week ahead of us this week. Join us for Sunday worship, Sunday School and Frolic. Join us for BASE Life Youth Group after worship. Monday, join us for “Lent, Lunch and Learning” as we take a look at our “Traditions” as a church and denomination. Discipleship huddles resume this week, and we look forward to our preparations for Holy Week and Easter.

Hoping to see you around this week!
