Life... Fulfilled.
Finding Purpose
We come to the end of our series, Life... Fulfilled. In the past weeks we looked at what it meant to have joy in life rather than just happiness, integrity instead of inauthenticity, and a life in community away from loneliness.
This week we put it all together in search of finding our purpose in life. The text comes from James 1:19-27. In this passage, we ask ourselves what is God really saying to us and what is God wanting us to do. We put our professions of faith and our daily actions together to live a life true to our calling.
Come and join me this Sunday as we share testimonies from our missionary, Brooke Collins, and learn of many opportunities to serve in the local missions around us.
Blessings, Pastor Elbert

Our service is low-key, non-traditional with weekly communion, open to everyone.
The band plays original Christian and traditional praise music. And it's ok to applaud.
