Sunday Mornings 9:30 - Bible Study with Pastor Dan in the Chapel.
Beginning May 13th and throughout the Sundays of Summer we will gather in the Air Conditioned Chapel at 9:30 AM to resume the Focus On The Family Bible Study video series, “That The World May know” with Dr. Ray Vanderlaan. This exciting series takes us into the Word of God as we tour the Holy Land and visit the early church. Plan to attend these motivating Sunday classes and be prepared for the Holy Spirit to enlighten and stir you to a greater understanding of God’s plan of salvation. Pastor Dan, Moderator

Sunday Bible Class (Accounting Room)
Please join us in the accounting room for a bible series called “Life Lessons with Max Lucado” on the book of Psalms. This study’s focus is on worship and prayer. Your prayers may not always be polished or perfect. They just need to be from your heart to God’s heart. In Psalms, some petitions are reverent, some defiant and some intensely personal. But all have one purpose: to lead you to worship the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind.

The Parenting Class will resume in September

Food For VEAP
Remember to bring your food donations forward to the baskets at the Communion Rail during the offering. Feel free to drop off your donation at church during office hours (M-F, 9-3) THANK YOU.
