Wild Time of Year
You know, , a lot of us feel like that cat looks this time of year. School is starting up, there's lots of things to get done, and there's never enough time in the day to do it all. Sometimes it seems we will never get everything completed. We are pulled 100 ways. It's enough to make our hair stand straight up! The word is "frustration."
If that's where you're at now, God has a word for you. In the midst of all your trouble and frustration, God wants you to know this:
"We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God."
(2 Corinthians 4:8-9, NLT).
That word may not do much for your hair, but let it un-fluster your heart. You are not abandoned. You are never alone.
Sermon Series: Rooted - Part 12

Secret Church: August 27
We're having our first Secret Church, Friday night, August 27, from 7:00 until. What is Secret Church? It's a time of Bible Study and Prayer with no time limit. We'll get started at 7:00 pm and go until we're ready to go home. Secret Church is based upon the meetings so many Christians conduct in countries where Christianity is against the law and persecuted.
Secret Church is ONLY for those in our Youth Group and older. There will be NO child care or nursery available. We understand this may hinder some of you wanting to attend so we're letting you know well in advance so you can make your own arrangements for your children. Please understand this is NOT to limit your attendance but to provide an adult setting for serious study and prayer.
