Congratulations grads!
As they enter their graduation week, this Sunday we’ll celebrate with and pray for God’s continued guidance and closeness through His Spirit for all of our 2019 grads! May you continue to walk in the Lord Jesus Christ just as you received him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving (Colossians 2:6-7).

Sin Sucks
Pastor David Parker taught from Amos 2 that sin sucks the life out of my relationship with God and relationships with those around me. Even as believers who have been rescued through Jesus from sin’s condemnation, we need to take sin seriously and respond as God instructs. Listen to “Sin Sucks.
