WELCOME GUESTSThank you so much for visiting our Raymond Campus! Our desire is to make your first experience a warm one. Please help yourself to a complimentary coffee and an assortment of baked goods in our Café. Rest peacefully knowing your children will be taken care of and taught by a team of well-trained individuals who make safety a top priority. You’ll also find relevant messages that are rooted in sound biblical theology, and a contemporary worship service which we believe will greatly bless your heart.
THE CAFÉThe Café is open before and after services on Sunday mornings. You are welcome to enjoy your coffee during the service. The Café will close 15 minutes into the service in order to eliminate any distraction to those worshipping. It will re-open for fellowship at the end of the service.

NOTES
QUESTION: How shall we live?Ecclesiastes 12:8–14 (NIV84) — 8 “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Everything is meaningless!” 9 Not only was the Teacher wise, but also he imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. 10 The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true. 11 The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one Shepherd. 12 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body. 13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.
