LIVING THE PROMISE SERMON SERIES At baptism, we all
stand before God's people and make 13 promises, but how much time
afterward do we spend contemplating how to implement those promises
into our daily lives? Join us as we explore this exciting new series
together and learn how to Live the Promise daily. – Pastor Bentley
MID-WEEK WORSHIP is going strong but will be stronger with you
there. Mark your calendars now to attend each Wednesday evening
from 7-8 PM. If you missed this week it's never too late to join in and
study with us. See Pr. Bentley for the handout from this week. Bring
the kids. Each week will have a special time for teens and younger. Let
the family enjoy the benefits of this wonderful mid-week service.
