November Worship Series

Join us this Sunday as we continue our November fruit for the month in our Fruitful Living Worship Series, Self-Control. Pastor Damon will guide us through I Corinthians 7: 8 & 9.

Veteran's Day Prayer

“Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;

the Lord delivers them in times of trouble.

The Lord protects and preserves them—

they are counted among the blessed in the land—

He does not give them over to the desire of their foes.

The Lord sustains them on their sickbed

and restores them from their bed of illness.”

Psalm 41:1-3
