| Christmas Eve Services | |
|
| New Year's Day Services | |
Unlike most Sundays when we have two identical services, we will offer two different services in the sanctuary on January 1. We encourage you to join us for prayer at 9:15 and stay for service at 10:45.
9:15 am Fresh Encounter
We will begin our year as a church in prayer. This service will include songs of praise, reading of Scripture, and multiple avenues to engage in prayer. Though there will be many opportunities for you to pray, no one will be forced to pray out loud. Together we will acknowledge that our confidence is not in the excellence of our programs or even the friendliness of our people. Our confidence is in the living God. And together we will seek a Fresh Encounter with Him.
10:45 am Relational Intelligence
There is an old saying, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, bring others with you." How far do you want to go in your relationships... with co-workers? ... with neighbors? ... with your family or small group? ... even God? Join us for the first part of this series as we learn practical ways to raise our relational IQ. It will enable you to take your relationships farther than they have ever gone before. |
