New Sermon Series: Living Sent - The Book of Acts
Is the future of Christianity in jeopardy? Can the church survive in the post-Christian 21st century? Will increased globalization, racial and political polarization, cultural relativism, and religious hostility halt the spread of the gospel and growth of God's kingdom? Not according to God's word . Indeed, it is in such an environment that the gospel of Jesus Christ thrives and God's church expands as the Spirit of God moves in the hearts and lives of believers to live as Jesus' witnesses sent into the world. Join us in the weeks ahead as we study the book of Acts and living our lives sent with the gospel to our community and to the world.
Sunday's Sermon Title: Patience, Promise, Power
Passage: Acts 1:1-12

While you can drop off items for any of our supported organizations at any time, each month or so we will feature a different organization or need. We are currently collecting pantry food items for Western Wake Crisis Ministry's Summer Food Drive. Non-Perishable items only, please. From WWCM: "
Summertime seems to be a forgotten season for food pantries. During this time of year, children are home and not receiving meals at school.We are in need of everything. Thank you for your continued support."
