  • Luncheon:  A luncheon is being provided by the Akuh’s  next Sunday, November 10, to celebrate Timna’s baptism and membership into the church, as well as David, and Jayden’s baptism.  Many friends and family will be traveling into town to celebrate with them.  Everyone in our congregation is invited to join them immediately after the service in the Fellowship Hall for the celebratory luncheon.
  • New Adult Sunday School Beginning on November 24:   Revelation, the last book of the Bible, is oftentimes seen as shrouded in mystery, and full of scary images. Oftentimes misunderstood and misused by American culture, and even many Christians, this precious and magnificent scripture calls the church to remember who their God is and what it is they are waiting for: the return of their Lord, Savior, and King, Jesus Christ. Because of this, Revelation calls the church to persevere, to wait patiently, and, indeed, to conquer, because their God is the sovereign conquering King. Join us on Sunday mornings as Pastor Jeremy gives an overview of the book of Revelation: how we read it, various schools of interpretation, and what message this book has for all of God's people throughout time.          
  • Wednesday Night Fellowship Night and Bible Study:  We meet at 6:00 PM on Wednesdays in the Fellowship Hall.  Meals are provided for a suggested donation of $3.00 per person or $12.00 maximum per family.  Pastor Wes is currently leading us in a study of Zechariah.
