August Sermon Series:

Faith Lessons from Sports

In August we will be exploring the Christian walk and how sports can help us understand how to run the race well.

August 4: Matthew 16:24-27

August 11: 1 Corinthians 12:12-18

August 18: John 15: 12-16

August 25: 2 Corinthians 4:8-12

You are invited to wear your favorite sports teams jerseys throughout the Sundays in August!

The Story

In September, we will begin a 31-week journey through Scripture chronologically. We will take a break for Advent and Christmas but resume our journey after the Christmas season. The church is purchasing an abridged version of Scripture for each family. Together we will read through the Bible.

We will also be offering small groups to study each chapter of the Story together. You are invited through the month of August to sign up in the Narthex for a small group so we can go deeper in our understanding of God’s Story, our story.
