If ever you've been curious about Jesus or what following Him means, consider this your invitation. "Come and see".

This phrase said by Jesus to some of his first disciples was then echoed when the people who met Jesus went to tell everyone they knew about him. Some questioned if it could all be true. Still, the invitation remained. "Come and see".

This series is for anyone who is searching for answers, has been waiting for hope, or for anyone who already knows Jesus but wants to explore deeper the life changing moments of Jesus' ministry here on earth as a way to deepen their faith. Our hope is that you would join us as we look to the Bible to see for ourselves what Jesus has to offer us. Please join us this Sunday at 9:30AM.

I'm so excited that tomorrow we begin our 175 days of prayer initiative! Thank you to all who have already signed up and committed to pray! I've put together a prayer guide for anyone who would like to have some structure or added insight. Please download it from the Church Happenings page on our website. There will be copies available at church on Sunday as well. In case I haven't told you lately, I love being your pastor. 😊

Our 4H Pie Event was a ton of fun for these kiddos. It is such a blessing we have this facility so that we can do things like this in the community. Thanks to all who came and all who helped!
