This Sunday's Theme:

"Live Like Jesus!"

Philippians 2:5-11

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

Good evening church!

What a great worship we had last Sunday with our guests from Teach One to Lead One, Faith Murphy and Joel Greder. Thank you to those who signed up to help support this ministry through, mentoring youth, praying for the ministry, and financially supporting our work with them. We are excited for our team to get started teaching and mentoring youth at Desert Mountain High School towards the end of this month. Let’s all make a commitment to continually lift them up in prayer!

The Marriage Course is off and running. We will be looking at the theme of “The Impact of Family!” We are so grateful for the prayers and support of so many from our congregation for this ministry. Many of you have been praying for the couples that are participating and we are thankful for your prayers. We have 15 couples that are participating (including Patti and me). This week we have a special treat. One of the members of our church has volunteered to make the meal for Sunday night.

This Sunday we continue our walk through the book of Philippians. This week we look at the “Christ Hymn” in Philippians 2:5-11. This is such a powerful overview of who Jesus was, is and will be. And Paul begins his spectacular revelation with the simple words for the church: “Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.” If one ever wanted to know what to do with our lives, this would be a great starting point. Join us this Sunday as we explore what it means to “Live like Jesus!”

In the love of Jesus Christ,

Pastor Steve
