Sunday Recap

This last Sunday was a good Sunday. We had 99 in attendance and 2 saved. It was the first week of our Superheroes series and people loved taking pictures with Captain America! This series has a lot of potential to be a “game changer” for our church. This coming week we are interviewing a guy in our church who has recently felt called to be a cottage parent at a boys/girls ranch. We’re praying that others will feel the call like him and take on a GOD sized dream for their lives.

The momentum we have built over the summer is amazing! God has continued to bless no matter what happens.

Coming Up Next Sunday

This coming Sunday is our BBQ and Baptism. There is a lot of excitement around it. Last month when we had our first BBQ and Baptism we had about 100, it was crazy! We are hoping for the same results!
