THIS SUNDAY AT 10:15AM - We are very excited to continue our current teaching series, titled "Kingdom Life." We are studying Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount" which can be found in the Gospel of Matthew, chapters 5-7. This Sunday, we will be in Matthew 5:43-48

IMPORTANT BUDGET-RELATED INFO - The elders recently gave an important update regarding our church family finances and the upcoming budget approval process. You can watch the video of that update HERE. A letter including the proposed 2023 budget was emailed to official members this past week and is also available in the literature rack in the lobby. This Sunday, November 20th, there will be a budget information meeting after the worship gathering (please read details below). Then, on December 4th, there will be a congregational meeting after the morning worship gathering in which official members will vote in regard to the proposed budget.

BUDGET INFO MEETING THIS SUNDAY - Follow-up informational meeting this Sunday after the worship gathering this Sunday. All are welcome, but we especially encourage official members to attend as we pray, discuss, and plan for next year’s budget.  We will again review our current finances, have a time of Q&A, as well as discussion of the key items to be considered. Leadership is seeking your input as we work together to settle on a plan for spending in 2023. We expect this meeting to last no more than one hour, and copies of the initial draft for the 2023 budget will be available.
