Join Us for Worship

Join us for worship in the coming weeks as we explore themes of stewardship, celebration, and gratitude. We'll reflect on what it means to give of ourselves, celebrate the joys of community, and dive into Scripture to find hope, generosity, and trust in God’s promises, as well as give thanks for our blessings and grow together in faith.

A Salute to America's Veterans Concert

Special guests include the 6 piece Carolina Moondogs horn section along with the Connections Band. Doors will open at 5:45pm. Admission is free.

Crackers & Fruit Cups

The Food Bank is no longer accepting our donations of cracker packs and fruit cups, they are using their own supplies to fill the weekly bags. Meals on Wheels has a need for these, so we have decided to partner with them for donations of cracker packs and fruit cups.

We continue to honor our weekly commitment to Meals on Wheels to provide 100 cracker packs and 100 fruit cups to provide snacks for seniors in need. Donations can be dropped off in the labeled baskets in the narthex.

Christian Encounters

The Christian Encounter Sunday School class will begin our Advent study of Louie Giglio’s

“Waiting Here For You An Advent Journey of Hope” on November 17. It is a 4 week study. The class will wrap Angel Tree gifts on Dec. 8th.

The product description from the book:

“In this four-session study, pastor Louie Giglio reminds us that it’s in the richness of Advent—a season of expectant waiting and preparation—that we find our answer. And it is throughout this waiting season that we prepare our hearts to greet December 25th with joy, peace, hope, and refreshed promise in our newborn King.”

The class meets at 9:30 in Room 114-C. If you are unable to attend in person there is a Zoom link available. For more information, please contact Lisa & John Bennett at ljbennett@twc.com.
