We’ve
been waiting for you! We believe that every person who comes into the circle of
this special fellowship was sent by God Himself. So, above all else we want to
express Christ’s love to you with genuine, heartfelt warmth. We’re eager to know
you an excited to share
with you the marvelous ways God is working in our church. It
won’t take you long to discover that this is truly a family,
rich in the relationships that matter most. Growing
together, we worship, we serve, we laugh, we cry, we learn,
and we reach out to our world with life-transforming truth.
We reach out to you as well. Our doors are open. Our hearts
are open, too. If you’ve been thinking, praying, searching
and hoping
for a place to
belong, we say...
Weekly Note From Pastor Daren: On
this Sunday before Labor Day we are considering the subject of work. Work
consumes a great portion of our lives. The work hours are usually prime time
hours. The Bible has a lot to say about the subject of work. As a Christian, I
have to ask myself this question, who do I work for? My answer to that question
will determine my view of work. It will have a direct impact upon how I work.
The great majority of Christians spend their lives working in secular, as
compared to religious, work. Some believe that religious work is more
significant than secular work. Many Christians wonder if the time they spend
working is wasted time as far as eternity is concerned. This morning we will
learn what the Bible has to say about this very crucial subject.
