Fair warning to all you newcomers. Our facility isn't really up to modern, climate-controlled standards. When it's hot outside, it's hot inside. And when it's cold outside...brrrrr.
But don't worry. The fireplace will be lit and we have heaters that our pastor says "have enough BTUs to slightly alter the earth's rotation". We just recommend you always dress appropriately.
1. Ladies Christmas Worship Night - On, Thursday, December 19th, the ladies will gather for a few brief hours to encourage one another, to sing together, to pray together. We hope you will make time during this busy season.

Pray for them. Consider joining them. Check out what they are learning this week...
This Sunday David Christensen (our Church Intern) preaches his second sermon ever.
Thanks for being the kind of church that trains preachers. You cheer them on, invest in them (i.e. Preachers Club, Church Internships), and listen to them with faith to receive grace. You'd think this is normal but it isn't...not by a long shot.
Why? Because training preachers takes a congregation:
You are this kind of church and we can't thank God enough for you!
