NEW SERIES - THIS SUNDAY!
What do you do when you've just finished a series on the often misunderstood END OF THE BIBLE? Why not start a series on the often misunderstood BEGINNING OF THE BIBLE?

THIS SUNDAY @ 10AM we START a new series on the BOOK OF GENESIS. The book of beginnings. But maybe not the beginnings that you've often assumed.

There are many questions of the modern mind that people often go to the ancient book of Genesis to answer. Questions like: "How was the earth made?" and "What does the Bible say about current scientific theory?" Many of our current cultural-war battles are fought over what people think they find as answers within the pages of Genesis.

But what if the questions of Intelligent Design and Evolution and other current hot-button issues aren't at all what the text is about?

We'll be looking to enter the world of the ancient Hebrew people, for whom the book was originally written, and try to understand the important message that it held for them. A people unaware and unconcerned with the scientific questions we have today. We'll learn to read the STORY OF ORIGINS through their ANCIENT EYES.

And what we discover might surprise us. We may learn something more true, more beautiful and more meaningful than any of the questions most get preoccupied with today.

We hope you'll join us as we start this journey together.
SET YOUR CLOCKS BACK AN HOUR
It's that time of year again where for one night we actually enjoy the time-change and get an extra hour of sleep. This is your big chance! Go to bed at your regular time and get more sleep!

But you aren't gonna do that are you? You are gonna stay up an extra hour drinking and watching Netflix. You are going to look at the clock at 11pm and think, "hmmmm, I can stay up for one more episode of The Great British Baking Show." That's a bad idea. It's not that great of a show anyway.

Okay, well, do what you are gonna do. But just remember, we tried to warn you that you'd enjoy that extra hour of sleep more.

Happy Daylight Saving!
SUNDAY MORNINGS @ 9:30AM
Each Sunday we HOST A ZOOM ROOM at 9:30am for our kids. The idea is that several of our KiDs ministry leaders will host the call and watch the video with the kids attending. After the video, they will discuss what they learned and spend some time playing games or doing other activities.

To join us just launch ZOOM on your device and enter information below to get connected.

Sundays @ 11:45am
Our MIDDLE SCHOOL and HIGH SCHOOL students meet weekly for a GAME NIGHT on alternating Fridays and Saturdays nights. But they can ALSO MEET ON SUNDAYS immediately AFTER OUR ONLINE GATHERINGS at 11:45am for a time to chat, discuss the Bible and check-in for prayer requests.

Basically, it's the COVID ERA version of YOUTH GROUP.
This is a good event to encourage your student to attend so they can connect with some spiritual learning and exploration as well as encouragement.
