NEW SERMON SERIES BEGINS JAN. 8
Rev. Troy Tatum will start the new year with a new sermon series, Life Comes At You Fast.  Often we use the new year to try to change our habits and attempt to take control of our lives, nonetheless, most of us keep getting even busier, even more stressed, and even further away from the life we want to live.  Yet Jesus has promised peace.  Perhaps life with Jesus offers us a different path and a quiet center.   Join us starting January 8 to learn more.
 
Audio recordings of recent sermons are available to stream or download here.

The Adventure Nook staff would like to thank The Adventure Nook Support Group (TANSG),  for the delicious breakfast that they had prepared for our return after the Christmas holidays.  It was a very welcomed treat on our first day back.  We do so appreciate all you do for us.
 
We would like to wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

Blessings,
Debbie
