I hope that you have a blessed Thanksgiving this year - that you get to be with family or friends and that you recognize the blessings that the Lord has given you. 

On Sunday we start Advent. Advent is the anticipation of the celebration of Jesus coming to the world! This Advent season we will be focusing on rejoicing in what Christ brought to the world. The theme scripture is Luke 1:46-47 "My soul glorifies the Lord  and my spirit rejoice in God my Savior!"

Join us as we celebrate Jesus Christ  who is Emmanuel (which means God with us), this Christmas season. Know that you are loved!

Hello, I hope that you are well and keeping warm as the weather gets colder. This is my favorite season of the year, what are you enjoying this fall?

On Sunday I will conclude our series "Waiting with Purpose." As we conclude we are going to discuss trusting God. The thing is - our whole lives are waiting periods, waiting on what comes next...because when that things comes, we'll be waiting on something new. The point is, how can we trust God in the midst of life's waiting times?

I'd love to see you Sunday!

Greetings! Our IOU groups are coming to a close for this session. We have been studying this book:

It is a biblical small group study on spending the time in wait with purpose. As we wait for our new building or for other things in our lives, ministry needs to still be happening, we need to still be growing!

This Sunday I will preach about becoming who/what God wants us to become. In the midst of our wait, God is working on us and we can choose who we want to become. Join us as we grow together!

I am praying for you!

Hello! I hope you are enjoying your week!

Our IOU groups are in full swing. IOU means Inward, Outward and Upward and refers to the type of growth we need to do as disciples of Christ. We need to work internally on ourselves, we need to focus outward on those around us, and we need to focus upward on God. We have three groups for you to join: Sunday, Tuesday and Friday.

We are studying "What Do You Do With Your Wait?" It is a biblical small group study on spending the time in wait with purpose. As we wait for our new building, ministry needs to still be happening!

This Sunday I will introduce the series on "Waiting with Purpose." Join us as we grow together!

Know that you are loved!
