WORSHIP SERVICES THIS SUNDAY

Join us this week for one of our three services as we continue our study of Exodus - “No More Excuses!”

The Journey Begins...
Have you ever wondered "What's Next?" in your spiritual journey? Do you have questions about your faith or Christianity but aren't sure who to ask? Do you want to learn how to grow in your faith and tell your story? Then come join us for a four-week basic Christianity class entitled The Journey, beginning October 4th during the second service. We will explore where you are in your walk with God, answer some basic faith questions, and learn what it means to be a growing disciple of Christ. Class space is limited so sign up by writing "The Journey" on your connection card (including your name, email address, and phone number) or email David Baumgartner at <> . Don't miss this opportunity to take the next step in your spiritual journey.
