The most wonderful time of the year?
The songs on the radio tell us that this is supposed to be "the hap-happiest season of all!" Yet for a lot of people, year-end means that it's crunch time at work. The holidays are approaching. Money is tight. Relationships are strained.
 Are you feeling a bit tired? A little overwhelmed?
Could you use an extra helping of strength and courage?
This weekend our theme is "Strong and Courageous." We're welcoming Joe Basile as our guest speaker. In addition to being a great communicator and a good friend, Joe is also a church planter at Olive Tree Community Church in Brentwood. He has a unique style of sharing God's Word that is interactive and will involve you.
If you're looking for a spiritual recharge I encourage you to be with us for one of our three weekend worship services: Saturday at 5:30PM and Sunday at 9AM or 11AM
Embracing the journey,
Pastor Rick |
