Weekly Update

This Sunday, two special considerations:

  • Daylight savings time ends
  • There is a voters meeting to talk about buildings and new faculty

In worship, we have two Sundays left of remembering the life of Jesus according to Mark. This Sunday we'll remember Jesus' death on the cross, and next Sunday remember his resurrection. 

Here is a devotional encouragement to keep your "God-lived life" commitment. 

Our YouTube channel is the new place to watch our services. 
Bible study is also being recorded. Remember, you can watch them after the fact

ANNOUNCEMENTS 

VOTERS MEETINGS THIS AND NEXT WEEK
We will have two voters meetings after worship Nov. 7 and Nov 14. We need two meetings because we would like to approve property/facility purchases for The Vine and the school and the calling of two more teachers for the school next year, all of which require two meetings. The meeting on Nov. 7 will focus on these issues, and the meeting on Nov. 14 will contain other reports.
