Jesus said, "For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them" (Matthew 18:20, NRSV). Welcome those near you to worship, and know that Jesus is in your midst.

This Morning is Communion Sabbath. This Sabbath will be one of our quarterly worship services of the Lord's Supper and footwashing.  This is the time to remember all that Jesus has done for us, and a time to rededicate our lives as we symbolically accept his sacrifice for us.

Next Week  the message is Living Out God's Plan. Proverbs 19:21 writes, "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."  The message will help us see how we can focus on living the life that God wants us to have.

October 4th will be a kick-off for our "Book of James" small groups. The message is Growing in Christ. As we introduce our small groups for this week, we should be challenged to grow in spiritual maturity. James helps us to recognize what that growth looks like, and the goal is to allow God to teach us and for us to be growing every day.






Join a small group as we study the book of James.  James is a very practical book. It a study that will help your spiritual walk in a very real and tangible way. Sign up for a group in the foyer.
