“Three Characteristics of a Disciple-Making Family”

Special Guest Speaker: Dr. Josh Mulvihill

2 Timothy 3:14-17

14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

SINGIN’ THE GOSPEL July 15 at 6:00 pm - 11th Hour It has been a decade of ministry, with Spirit-filled gospel music, songs rich in the Word, seeing souls saved and lives changed for the kingdom, encouraging the Church, and a decade of bringing glory to God, our Father.
“There is nothing more fulfilling than ministering to the body of Christ and sharing the gospel.” With musical influences such as Karen Peck and New River, the Perrys, Gold City, and the Kingsmen, 11th Hour has stayed fresh and relevant while maintaining a versatile sound, able to lead congregations in moving times of worship.

BUILDING MAINTENANCE After the second service Sunday, we need help in moving chairs from the Sanctuary to the gym - also moving furniture and toys from the Nursery to the gym. We appreciate your willingness to help. See Janet or Joanne for instructions.
