Looking to serve behind-the-scenes?
The Attendance Team needs you! Would you like to serve behind-the-scenes by taking an attendance count at church on certain Sunday mornings? (One service only, each Sunday for one month, on a 4-month rotation.) Please consider joining this service team. For more info and how the schedule rotation works, contact Brittany Paist (" class="uc">).

Praying Together
We praise God for all the dads and families represented in our church family! Let’s pray together that God continues to bless our families. May He use all who are fathers to build homes that are strongly rooted in trusting Jesus and bring them encouragement today.

When It’s Time to Say “No”
Continuing in his summer series from Proverbs, Pastor Jack taught us the Hebrew word “al-tove” from 1:10-19 which means NOT to consent, addressing situations where I am tempted to say yes to something that’s not God’s way and take a shortcut. Listen to “When It’s Time to Say ‘No’.
