 A Note From Pastor Keith
Gone Fishing!
.
Wouldn't it be great to drop everything and just go fishing? You could put anything else that you just love to do in place of fishing and the feeling is the same. We would love to go, but..... So often we do not engage our passion because of the things that bind us. In these weeks beginning with Pentecost and the gift of the Holy Spirit, we will explore how to engage our passion and move beyond the things that bind us. We will hear the voice of God calling us to go fishing with him in the world. After worship on Sunday, wouldn't it be great if the church hung up a sign that says "Gone Fishing for People - See you again Sunday to share the story!" Let's discover the freedom of the Gospel that allows us to do just that. |

Times are Thursday and Friday: 6-8:30 p.m. and Saturday, 9:00 am - 12 noon. Call Barbara Linker for more information, to volunteer to help, or to register your child at 704-788-8354 |
