Events This Week

Monday Night Prayer

Monday at 6:45pm

Every Monday, we meet in the Sanctuary to pray. If you feel like the Lord is speaking to you specifically about interceding with Him for our church, we invite you to join us. We believe prayer is the engine that moves us into all the Lord has prepared for us—welcoming the Spirit’s work in our church and stepping fully into the ongoing conversation with the Trinity. This is a time of worship and prayer led by the Holy Spirit to center us and keep us committed to praying as a church family.

GriefShare

Thursday at 6:30pm

GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Over 11 weeks ending May 7, you’ll find relief and comfort as you learn what to expect in the days ahead and how to navigate your personal grief process. Please contact Kensi Duszynski if you have any questions.

When Church Hurts:
Men’s Ministry Mini Conference
