All his life, it had been David's dream to build a great temple for God. David's dream was disrupted. How we deal with disrupted dreams speaks volumes about our faith. Don't complain that life has dealt you some awful cards or that someone else has a better hand. Just play the hand you are dealt with faith and courage and know that God still has a plan for your life.
 
Dr. Bill Bouknight will be preaching in the Sanctuary and Reverend Faye Stephens will be preaching in the Auditorium. See you at one of our 5 services!

Better Together


Life is better together and the full life of God meets us in a unique way. If you've been looking to get in a small group, then go ahead and make plans to attend one of the three One Life class options. One Life is a class that puts you  with other people who are looking for a small group and helps get your shared life started off on the right foot. This Fall, we will be offering a Couples One Life class on Wednesday nights starting September 6th from 6:15-7:30 in the Chapel. One Life Women's and One Life Men's small groups will begin on Tuesday, September 12th. You will need to purchase a copy of the One book, which you can get at the Guest Services area.

Marriage Conference

Great marriages don't just happen; they require intentional effort. Every marriage needs periodic tune ups and getting away as a couple for a marriage retreat is one of the very best ways to do this. Marriage retreats can help to improve even the best marriage and can be used by God to heal troubled marriages. Family Life ministries has been conducting marriage retreats for over 40 years and has impacted thousands of couples. Pastor Drew Martin and his wife, Grace, will be attending Family Life's "A Weekend To Remember" in Augusta, GA on October 6-8 and would encourage you to join them.
