Hello Sonrise Church!

Thank you for signing up to receive our weekly Sonrise Southwest eNews! We want to do everything we can to equip people to experience a life-changing relationship with Jesus! Check out our website www.sonrisechurch.info for more information!

Check out the Bible reading plan that is part of our new series Transformed. You can search "Transformed" in your Bible app in the Plans section, or you can click here to find it online. Listen to Pastor Scott Pattison teach on Our Emotional Life this Sunday.

FUEL THIS SUNDAY:

We continue our series, Battlefield, talking about Anger.  King Solomon, considered to be one of the wisest men who ever lived, wrote a book in the Bible full of practical wisdom called Proverbs. What better place to look for wise ways to handle anger than in a book written by someone known for his wisdom? Solomon's seemingly simple instructions offer us a practical solution to help keep ourselves from letting our anger become a danger.
