Thank you, Pastor Ben, for preaching a spirit-filled sermon on Rev.18 & 19!
Congregational Meeting Recap

Last weekend's congregational meeting was not easy, but the Lord seemed to do a deeply unifying work through it. In a moment that could have deepened division, there seemed to be a genuine spirit of humility and repentance, and a growing sense of unity. We saw tears, listened to concerns, prayed prayers, and ultimately witnessed a church family leaning toward one another rather than away.

So many of you have reached out since with words of encouragement and a sincere desire to help as we move forward together as a church family. Thank you. Truly.

We are working on scheduling a members' meeting in the coming weeks to follow up as needed and continue moving forward together. Our hope is not merely to "move on," but to move forward - anchored in truth, unified in the Spirit, and with our eyes on the Chief Shepherd who will faithfully lead us Home.

Grateful to be growing in grace alongside you.

- Pastor Christopher

Prayer and Praise This Wednesday!

God tells us in His Word to pray, so we're going to do just that. We have a lot to praise Him for, and a lot to get on our knees and boldly ask Him for. Will you mark your calendar, bring your people, and join us?

Our young adults had a blast on the rink last week playing broomball! Thanks to our VYA leaders for organizing this!

Baptism Sunday

Easter will be here before we know it! Like years past, one of the ways we're going to celebrate and proclaim the resurrection of Jesus is through baptisms! So, if you are a Christ follower and have not been baptized, begin praying about taking this next step with the Lord.
