ATTENTION ***** ATTENTION ***** Our new church mailboxes are located just behind the video room at the southern end of the narthex. This will be the final FORWARD you will receive in a mailing to your home. Effective April 1st, the FORWARD – along with all other church communications, statements and envelopes - will be placed in your family mailbox. The boxes are arranged alphabetically and their use should save the congregation substantial postage dollars.

Sunday Morning Bible Study

GodConnects is a video series explaining the

Christian faith in a way that makes it easy to invite

a friend, family member, or church visitor. Plain

language and helpful illustrations present God’s

work of salvation in a concise manner. This series is

ideal for those with questions about sin,

judgment, redemption, Jesus, the believer’s life, and

more. GodConnects is an excellent resource for

amplifying and sharing key

concepts of the

Christian faith. Who has

God put in your life that

needs to hear His

message?

If anyone interested in running for the Board of Directors please contact any member of the Board of Directors by April 30th."
