Hello Attridge Family:

It seems that we go from winter to summer in a very short period of time. This weekend seems to mark the beginning of summer for many. Gardens get planted, lawns need to be cut and we look for reasons to get away and spend time in rest and re-creation. What do you do to rejuvenate your mind and body? I love to be on water – kayaking, boating, swimming or just on the beach. Doing these activities with others provides life and renewal.
Sunday, Pastor Kevin will unpack God is my righteousness. We can’t earn our right standing with God, rather He provides is to us. Come and celebrate God’s goodness and learn more about His righteousness. Being in community is life giving.

Together for Jesus,
Pastor Reg
Transitional Lead Pastor
