This Sunday, November 14, we will be blessing the commitments we are making to God and our community through our pledges of resources. Bring your 2022 Pledge Card to church this Sunday or submit an online pledge card. Your pledge has a direct impact on the many ways we live into our mission to make Christ known within and beyond our walls. Have you already submitted your 2022 pledge or did you lose your card? Don't worry - this Sunday we will have extra pledge cards in the pews along with "I've already submitted my pledge" cards.

We need your help to spread the light of Christ. Volunteer to help decorate our campus with thousands of lights starting today! CLICK HERE to let us know when you can volunteer. You can also help by donating LED lights and dropping them off at the church office anytime during November. To help sponsor a new light display, contact Matt.
