We looked earlier this week at 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 and the importance of fleeing immorality and glorifying God with our bodies. As a follow-up, I wanted to share about a book that has proved useful to me in counseling. Though temptations to immorality appear in various forms in our society, no sexual temptation is probably…

On Saturday, July 28, 2018, we held our Work Day here at the church. It was a blessing to have our members and friends help with some much-needed maintenance and upkeep on the church grounds. We were able to clear out and organize two storage spaces in the front of the church. We also did…
We recently introduced our new hymnals to the congregation and thought it would be a good idea to share some information here in case you missed it! Why A New Hymnal? Have you seen the state of our old ones? Our previous hymnals have been well-used, and in many cases, beyond repair. It was time…
