This Week

Pathfinders & Adventurers will meet this Tuesday at 6 PM!

Midweek Connection meets on Tuesdays at 6:30PM in the church. Pastor Daniel will be leading out in the final part of his series looking at the stories of our Adventist Pioneers.

Elder’s & Church Board Meeting: Wednesday, September 9 at 6PM/7PM via ZOOM.

There will be NO FELLOWSHIP MEAL today. 9/12 will be the Day Of Prayer And Fasting- we will break the fast together around 4:30 PM. On 9/19 & 9/26 there will be regular fellowship meals.

September 12 will be our special Day of Prayer and Fasting. Please plan to stay for the whole day as we spend time in prayer, surrender to God, worship and fellowship.
In the afternoon, our young adults will lead the presentations, songs, and prayer sessions. There will be a special program for the children. We will break the fast around 4:30 p.m. Please bring prepared sandwiches and a salad or fruit to share. Parents, please bring a sack lunch for your child as they will not be participating in the fast. Our special focus will be praying for the October evangelistic meetings and the people we plan to invite. Come and let us seek God together!

Cleaning Bee: In preparation for the upcoming Prophecy Seminars, we will be having a Cleaning Bee on September 13 from 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Join us as we dust, polish, clean windows, mulch, and take care of other general cleanup around the church. If you have a squeegee or small step ladder for window cleaning, please bring them along. Rakes, shovels, and gloves are also needed for mulching and outdoor cleanup. Many hands make light work, and we appreciate your help!

Family Day is coming! Join us on Saturday, September 19, for a special day of worship, inspiration, and connection for the whole family. Royce and Laurie Snyman will share a testimony during the morning worship service. At 2:30 PM, guest speaker Shelly Caswell-Parrish will present “An Inside Look at the Teen Brain: What Parents and Teens Need to Know,” followed by an interactive activity for parents and tweens/teens at 3:30 PM. Bring your family and a friend—all are welcome!

The Prophecy Series is coming soon, and we need all hands on deck for the nightly meals! You do not  have to shop, just show up, follow the recipe, and help prepare the meal. We will work in teams of three each night. Click HERE for the sign-up spreadsheet and choose an evening that works best for you. Instructions to follow.
