There's a lot in here!

Hello Church! I hope everyone is feeling well on this dreary day. Apparently many had come down with the flu. Hopefully that has passed. Tonight the teens are serving their Spaghetti dinner, why don't you come out and support them? Additionally on Sunday we will be receiveing our Alabaster Offering. If you want to learn more about it, see here:

Next Wednesday is the start of Lent. We will still have community dinner, but instead of our normal Bible studies, we will have an Ash Wednesday service. If you have not begun thinking of it, I highly recommend finding a lenten fast and a lenten practice. Perhaps you have wanted to grow your prayer life. There are a variety of ways to pray. Maybe you want to fast one day a week. Or perhaps you fast an entertainment. This is a time to lament the brokenness of the world, to let go of superfluous things, and to embrace Jesus even more. Membership Class

We will be holding an additional membership class for those who are interested in learning more about the church and potentially becoming members. It will meet at 9:30 on Sunday Mornings starting March 16th. If you have any questions, ask Pastor Ryan Come to the Table The MI District hosts an annual discipleship event called Come to the Table. This year they will be focusing on how churches can use Compassionate Ministries as Discipleship. There will be a keynote speaker and break out sessions to learn how to better incorporate these into the life of the church. If you would like to go Please contact pastor Ryan and register here:
