3 Simple Steps to Forgiving
In the church we like to talk a lot about forgiveness, especially when it's God doing the forgiving. But every sinner knows what it's like to long for forgiveness from a brother or sister in Christ. And we all certainly know the challenge of forgiving others.In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus lays out his three simple steps to forgiving in the church. But as we know, in the Kingdom of God, simple doesn't always mean easy.
See you @10am this Sunday to worship, connect,
& dive into Matthew 18:15-22 with Megan Argabrite
This summer we are getting a great reminder that "We Are the Church"
.
Being the Church means that we are not spectators. Wherever we are, Jesus is there, & that means so is the Church. Let's take that message online through Instagram & Facebook.
When you find yourself serving somewhere, enjoying fellowship somewhere, embracing creation somewhere, snap a pic & post it with the hashtag #notspectators. Let's show the world that church doesn't just happen within the walls of the sanctuary!
FIRST HOUR @The Grove: Before we gather to worship corporately, we gather to connect personally & relationally through the telling of our stories at Growth Group.
Grab your coffee. Meet us there. Be known.
Sunday / 9:00 -9:50am / Sessions Room
People like cookies / People like punch too.
Serve people cookies & punch. It's what Jesus would do.
Volunteer to host fellowship by providing & serving the snacks at the Community Cafe where everyone gets a chance to fellowship after worship service each Sunday. It's easy & is an important aspect of hospitality on Sunday mornings. We're asking everyone to volunteer once or twice a year.

What's Up With Them There Prayer Bracelets?
One of the privileges of being a Freedom School Site is that we get to know 72 children by name and story. Here's your chance to play a transformative role in one of their lives! Pick up a prayer bracelet in worship this Sunday that will have the name of one of our Freedom School scholars. Pray for that child by name this summer, and if you help with breakfast, come read a book, or just stop by one morning, take a minute to let your scholar know that you are praying just for them.
Want to help bring the gift of music to our community?
