This past Sunday I asked Pastor David if I could do something different with the power points in the traditional services. I did the slides without adding color. Boring, right? I wanted to show that Jesus is our color. Jesus is our light. Jesus is our everything. Without color (Jesus) in our lives, what a…

Out of ALL the pumpkins in the patch, God picks you! He isn’t looking for the perfect size or shape, he chooses you even with scars, bruises and broken hearts! He washes off the dirt so you are free from sin. He cuts off the top and is ready to start digging away the yuck…

Closing Prayer Circle in CYF is tradition. It’s an unbroken circle where we encourage verbal prayer, even when all we have to offer is “Thank You God”. Sometimes, for the sake of time, I have been known to offer up a “repeat after me” prayer; it’s not my favorite way to end our night, because…

There is a joy I receive with the endless questions I get about how the world works and about our faith during our nightly family devotions from our two nine year old boys. It always opens up conversation to discuss deeper topics or makes us smile and reminds us to tuck that topic away to…

Do you love to sing in your car, in the shower, while mowing the grass?? Do you love to praise God through song? Would you like to join your voice with others who love to sing praise? If the answer is yes we would love to have you join us in the adult choir! We…
