SERMON SERIES

Holy Habits: Small Practices, Lasting Faith



A closer walk with God starts with just one small step. Join us for Holy Habits, a four-week series inspired by James Clear’s Atomic Habits and rooted in our Christian faith. We’ll discover how small, intentional practices can help us grow in faith, find joy in community, and build a faith that lasts. Small habits. Big faith. One step at a time.

You can join us every Sunday at

NBA & Feeding Frenzy Volunteer Meeting

Sept. 9th|6:00pm| FLC

Join us tonight! All volunteers meet us in the FLC as we prepare for the return of both NBA & Feeding Frenzy on September 16th & September 17th.

Feeding Frenzy: Donate Today!

Each Thursday, the high school students from Martin walk over for Feeding Frenzy, our weekly free meal. In about 45 minutes, we serve on average 350 students—providing a hot meal, a welcoming place, and a reminder that God and their community loves them.

Each meal costs us about $2. Thanks to your generous giving, we had enough to cover last year and to carry us through the first month of this school year. But we need your help to keep Feeding Frenzy going throughout the year!

Would you consider making a donation to Feeding Frenzy? Every gift, large or small, helps us continue putting food on the table and welcoming these students each Thursday. Thank you for being the church that makes a difference!

Youth

Sunday Night

6:00pm | FLC

Feed the Youth, Build the Community!

Our youth group gathers every Sunday evening from 6:00–8:00 PM in the FLC, and we’d love your help making Sunday nights a little more special! We’re looking for volunteers to be part of our “Sunday Night Supper Squad” to make, bring, and serve dinner for our youth and youth volunteers.

You will need to have dinner ready around 6:00 PM. We’d love you to eat alongside the youth and their leaders, and help with cleanup afterward. The whole commitment will be about one hour—but the opportunity to connect with our young people can make a lasting impact!

You can sign up for one Sunday (or several!) below, just click link.

Whether you make a homemade meal, pick up something easy, or bring your favorite youth-friendly dinner, your willingness to show up and share a meal is what matters most.

Sign up today and help us feed more than just hungry stomachs—we’re feeding community, connection, and faith!
