We will not have Wednesday evening activities during the summer as we have done in the past. We will continue to have our "Sunday Night Prayer Gathering" at 6:00 PM in the Worship Center. This is simply a Prayer and Praise worship service. We would love for you to be faithful to that Sunday evening service. It has already proven to be a powerful service! Our last regular Wednesday evening schedule ends on May 28, 2014. We will have our Fall Ministry Kick-Off on August 27th!

COMPASSION INTERNATIONAL: It's not too late to sponsor a child! We still have some children that need you to sponsor them! Sponsor packets are available at the table in the foyer. Please touch the life of a child and you will be blessed. Thank you to all of you who are already sponsoring a child.

You must realize that God loves you but you are separated from God by a sinful nature.

Roman 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

You must believe that God sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ as a payment for sin.

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Although humanity through sin has separated itself from God, the sacrifice of Jesus, on the cross, bridged that gap.

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Jesus Christ died for us.”

All that God asks is that you repent (turn away) from your sins and accept the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made on the cross for those sins.

Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
