THIS WEEK’S NEWS
Worship this Week!
Join us this Sunday, October 18 for worship!
We are continuing our WWJD Sermon Series based on Matthew 5-7 in the Bible. Pastor Josh leads us at both services with his sermon “When Goals Become Gods”…what we desire we treasure, what we treasure we love, and what we love we worship. It’s so easy for the things of the world to become objects of worship. Come to Worship this Sunday and be free of your idols.
Our contemporary service is @8:30am in Lewis Hall. Our traditional service is @11am in our Sanctuary. Our music ministry team has lots of special music planned. At 8:30am worship, Jessica Holman will sing “First” by Lauren Daigle. At 11am worship, our Bell Tower Ringers will play the offertory, “Simple Gifts.” Everyman’s Sunday School class will sing at both services…Hymn 514…”When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder.”
