28 Dec This Sunday We’ll Prepare for 2024
I hope you have had a blessed Christmas season and have enjoyed this holiday week!
This Sunday Jacob Bell will minster to us though preaching. I will be here to pray with people and to wish you a happy new year for 2024! It is a Merge Sunday, so our elementary kids will worship with us before their age-appropriate teaching time.
Let’s start anticipating and preparing for a breakout year!
Grace and peace,
On Sunday, January 7, 2024, at 6 pm, Pastor Aubrey and the worship team will lead us in a church-wide worship music experience to start the new year! What a great way to focus spiritually!
Childcare is available for age 4 and under if you register beforehand.

The CIL Men’s Retreat, happening January 26-27, 2024, is a yearly tradition where men get away to pursue the Lord. This year’s theme is Endure where we will look at Hebrews 12 and devote to keeping our eyes on Jesus.

“Encounter” Worship and Prayer begins January 9, 2024
Encounter is a scheduled time of worship and prayer designed for connecting with God’s presence, intercession, and impartation of the Holy Spirit’s gifts.
We have scheduled nine Encounter nights, which will take place each Tuesday between January 9 and March, 5, 2024. The Encounter nights will start at 7:30 pm, but you can come for any portion of the worship and prayer gathering.
Childcare will not be provided for Encounter, but we hope the later start time will help family and friends take turns with childcare in each home.
