Fall Theme:   ROOTED!

This fall we'll look at how beginning a faith journey with God and growing in a relationship with Jesus Christ requires us to look at what we're feeding our hearts and minds.  Just as a tree soaks up through its roots much of what it needs to grow, so we must be grounded in the good stuff: God's Word, times of prayer and study, acts of service and worship, and healthy connections with other Christians.

 

 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will 

empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 

Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. 

Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong.

 

Ephesians 3:16-17, New Living Translation
