Pumpkins arriving next Saturday

It's almost time for our annual pumpkin patch! More than just a fundraiser for ministry, the patch is beautiful way for our church to connect with the community. We need your help to get things ready. The pumpkin delivery truck arrives Saturday, Sept. 27. At 9 am we will offer a light breakfast before unloading the truck. We'll also be provided lunch afterwards.
Our upcoming mission trip to North Carolina (October 11–18) will include 17 of our members serving families who were devastated by Hurricane Helene. As part of our mission, we are collecting children’s shoes (sizes toddler up to children’s size 5), 12-16 ounce bags of dry pinto beans, and 12-16 ounce bags of rice to help these families. Please bring donations to church on Sundays or drop them off in the church office during the week. We ask that items be received by Sunday, October 5.

If you feel led to support this effort financially, gifts may be designated with “outreach” in the memo line (or select it on our giving page above).

Financial Peace University returns Sept 10

Imagine how much more you could bless others if money weren't a burden. If you had no debt payments. No money stress. That's the freedom that God wants for us - and it's possible! Join our Financial Peace University (FPU) class starting on September 10 at 6:30 pm. This 9-week course walks through God's ways of handling money so we can live a debt-free, generous, more abundant life. Class coordinators will be Tim and Catrina Bourne.
