Weekly Youth Update: 4/29-5/5

Last week in our Wednesday night Bible study, we studied the end of Colossians 1. Among other points, we saw Paul’s care for the Colossians which allowed us to see how following Christ may lead to suffering and persecution as we proclaim God’s great name. This week, we will continue by studying the beginning of Colossians 2. Join us for this great time of fellowship and growing closer to God! Bible study is from 6:30-7:30 Wednesday night and the Family Life Center opens at 6:00 for anyone wanting to hang out!

Our youth beach retreat is coming up soon! We are heading to Wilmington, North Carolina, for a weekend of fellowship, fun, learning, and relaxation! If you would like to attend, please send me an email soon so I can let you know about the requirements to attend. Our next parent/student meeting is May 14 at 6:00 pm. Important information about the retreat is below:

Confession, Reflection and The Lord's Supper

Yesterday, our church observed the ordinance of the Lord''s Supper or Communion as some call it. Our church is blessed to have a committee that prepares this for us on every fifth Sunday. This practice is designed to take us back in our hearts and minds to that dreadful night where Jesus sat at a table with His disciples to prepare them for His pending crucifixion . The purpose of the Lord's Supper is not for us to go through the motions, but to remember all that Christ did for us. His body was broken and blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins. Communion is a time to reflect, appreciate and give honor to Jesus for what He endured for us. This ordinance is not for everyone. This is only to be taken by those who are believers and accepted Jesus as their ultimate forgiver and leader. To partake in this service in an unworthy state is sin. 1 Corinthians 11:27 (NLT) 27 So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this...

The Wondrous Cross

Attention all! As you drive by or visit our church, take a moment to admire the beautiful cross located to the right of our main entrance. This Easter season, we'll be using this cross to commemorate the special days leading up to Jesus' glorious resurrection. Look for the color of the sash to change each day, reflecting the significance of the holy week. A big thank you to Sherry, Ann and Jimmy for making this beautiful cross possible! To God Be The Glory!
