Step through the mist into Rainforest Falls - overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures! Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids will plunge into a life-long adventure as they discover the nature of God and explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with their Creator - a safe place in life’s storms.

This Sunday!

Join us for Youth Sunday as we celebrate another year in the books and our graduating Seniors. We’ll hear two lessons from youth as well as get a taste of what a Wednesday looks like, hearing about how the Bible beginning to end tells the story of God’s love!

A Bacon & Pancakes fundraiser will be going on before each service, so come hungry! Plates are 5$ each, a topping bar will be by the kitchen, and tables will be set up in the Gym to eat at. All proceeds will go to fund the Youth Mission Trip!

This past Sunday, we had the opportunity to adopt a prop! VBS is coming up and we like to completely decorate the first floor of the church- so help us out and grab a bag if you haven't already! All props and decorations are due back at the church by May 17-

If you haven't signed up to volunteer for VBS, look at this really cool string of letters and symbols! It's very clickable! https://vbspro.events/p/2abb1d

What was your "Aha!" moment?

The two pilgrims returning to Emmaus recognized Jesus when He broke the bread at supper- mirroring communion, Jesus' body was broken for us. In that moment, they were no longer kept from recognizing their savior who had been walking with them.

Bogdan shared with us Sunday that as he held his baby son for the first time- realizing that his son was now fully dependent on Dad and Mom to take care of him- that in that moment, Bogdan's relationship with God clicked. He felt his need in for God, the importance to seek God's guidance too.

These "aha!" moments don't just happen once- they happen again and again over the course of a Christian's lifetime- crafting a unique story that demands to be shared. Your testimony. The story of your walk with Christ.

So are you sharing God's work on you? Are you sharing with other believer's so that they are strengthened in their faith? Are you sharing with non-believers so that they can hear the life changing work of God and seek it for themselves?
