DON'T JUST CHECK THE BOX. We are entering into the holiday season where it is easy to just check off the boxes of responsibilities and activity.  This season we want you to do more than just check off "the box". If you missed last week, Pastor Randy started the series off and you can listen here.  This week Pastor Diane will teach about The "Reach out" box. You won't want to miss it!
FUEL THIS SUNDAY:

We wrap up our series, Real Talk, this week.  A lot of us treat prayer like the old only-for-one-kind-of-thing telephone. We know how to ask for stuff, but we haven't learned all of the other things we can do with prayer. And so, we are missing out. That's why, this week, we're going to explore four other things you can do with prayer that may surprise you. As we look at examples from Scripture of real people who really prayed this way, you may find the courage to try something new as well. We will have a guest speaker this week so be sure to join us!       
The four week Christmas Experience boxes are now available while supplies last. The cost of the box is only $10 and through the four week self-guided "Christmas Experience", you will be resourced by our team to engage your kids with media, outings, challenges, projects and CONVERSATION.  This is an Experience not to be missed!
