We will have breakfast snacks provided during the 8:15 and 9:30 worship services, with a full blown, “old fashioned” Methodist pot luck after the 11:00 service.
Our ministry areas and cluster leads will be on hand to answer questions and greet our guests.
It is our hope you will join us, with a friend, to make a difference on Back To Church Sunday on September 8th!
Come and invite a friend for a spectacular day of food, fellowship, new faces and ministry opportunities!

SUMMER SING ‘N CELEBRATE
AUGUST 4TH AT 7:00 PM
The author, Sarah Young, shares: The author, Sarah Young, shares: The most direct route between point A and point B on your life-journey is the path of unwavering trust in Jesus. If you should wander from your trust-path, just look to Him and whisper, “I trust You.”
This evening, join us as we are reminded how this affirmation will always help us if we need to get back on track.

From the Sermon Series: Genuine Love:
Pastor Kenny’s sermon from the Traditional Service
Rev. Kevin Haven’s sermon from the Common Ground Service.
What does it mean to judge someone? Is it necessary? Is it loving? Do we take stock in our own lives before we look at others or is it vice versa? Let’s explore if the word Judging should be in our vocabulary and if so, how do we live it?
The Scripture was Romans 14:1-19
