Confirmation of Faith will take place tomorrow during the 10:30am worship service (in person or online). Praise God!

🎶 🎶 🎶
"I will build my life upon Your love
It is a firm foundation
I will put my trust in You alone
And I will not be shaken"
🎶 🎶 🎶

Let's make this lyric our prayer for the confirmands as we celebrate this faith milestone together. And while we're at it, sing this is as our prayer, too!

NOTE: Because a number of guests are expected for this special event, worship will be available 9:00am and 10:30am (even though it's a 5th Sunday) to make space for everyone.

Thanks again to the KidsChurch & K.Y.W.E. kids for leading us in worship last Sunday! It was a joy to be discipled by the youngest among us, and to hear your sweet voices join in song with the combined choirs from NewLife & Franklin Avenue Mission!

“Why are you looking among the dead for something to build your life on? Look to the One who was not in that grave, the last time He’d ever be gone.”
