Encounter: Worship Night
Join us for a powerful evening of worship on Friday, March 28 at 7 PM, led by our youth and young adults! While the worship team will be made up of the next generation, this event is open to the entire congregation.
Our theme for the night is “Desperate for the Spirit of God”—a time to seek His presence, encounter His power, and unite as the Church in worship and prayer. We are expecting God to move in incredible ways as we lift our voices together.
The evening will include worship, a short message, and breakout prayer, giving us the opportunity to truly engage with God and one another as the Church was meant to. Come with expectant hearts and a desire to experience the presence of God in a fresh and powerful way.
We can’t wait to worship with you!
Water Baptism Sunday
Join us on Sunday, March 30th right after our Sunday service for Water Baptisms! If you’ve never been baptized and are interested in being baptized please fill out the form on our website here and we’ll be in touch!
Water baptism is a way for believers to outwardly express what God has done in their hearts and lives in the presence of other believers. When you are baptized in water, you are identifying yourself with Jesus. If you have been baptized we invite you to stay after service as our brothers and sisters take this step of faith and to celebrate this significant decision!
Pray & Purl
Join us for an inspiring afternoon after of knitting, crocheting, and prayer at our upcoming Pray & Purl event! This is a unique opportunity to come together with other crafters and create something beautiful while deepening your faith.
During this event, we will provide materials and guidance for knitting and crocheting projects for all skill levels. We will also have a time of worship and prayer, where we can lift up our requests and praises to God together.
This is a wonderful chance to connect with other crafters in our church and share in our love of creating. Plus, it's a great opportunity to find peace and relaxation in the midst of our busy lives. Bring a bag lunch!
Please contact Kim Harris with questions and if you plan to attend.
