2022 Discipleship Challenge:The Crimson Thread Devotional is designed to take us into every book of the Bible with a focus on Jesus. There will be a total of four devotional books, with each book being 13 weeks long.

The cost for the book is $8 and is now available for preview and purchase in the church office. This challenge begins with the first full week of January 2022.   

Each week will include…Scripture Reading, Verse memorization, Hymn of the Week, Three Devotionals, Journaling, and Sharing Opportunities. We will also plan periodic fellowships for the purpose of sharing with each other. 

In order to hear the Word of God, one must have a H.E.A.R.T. for the Word of God. H.E.A.R.T. is an acronym we will use in our weekly  devotions.
