World Missions Potluck on Sunday

Joe will preach God’s Word in our worship services, and everyone is invited to a potluck after the 2nd service to hear more about what God is doing through them. Bring a main dish for 10 AND a salad or dessert to share.

RSVP on The City, or bring your best main dish for 10 people AND a salad or dessert. Childcare is available for ages 3-12.

LIFE Groups Resume
This week begins our Fall 10-week session. The bulletin flyer provides a list of groups. After each service today come by the tables to meet the leaders. LIFE groups are the best way to develop relationships here!
Financial Peace University
Starting September 17 Financial Peace University classes begin on Thursday nights at the church at 7:00 p.m. This is the financial planning method developed by author Dave Ramsey. Childcare is provided. Register and purchase the materials you’ll need to succeed in the class. Then join the City group so that the leaders, Harley and Adrienne Green, can more easily keep in touch with you.
