The church has joined with the children's ministry as they learn to memorize Bible verses in their Sunday classes. August's verse speaks of God's most important characteristic - love. 1 John 4:8

"He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."

Pastor Joe Carroll will be teaching from the book of Daniel. We are currently digging into Chapter 7, and you are encouraged to read ahead to be prepared for the teaching as it comes up.

Curious about the worship songs you will be singing this Sunday? Here they are! Join us in singing these songs of praise to the Lord!

"Hear The Cry of All Creation" - Andy Rogers

"The Battle Belongs To You" - Phil Wickham

"Great Hope, Great God" - Seth Condrey

"Come Thou Font" - Traditional Hymn
