Our next women's Gathering is November 15th at 7:00 PM in the church parlor.
We will talk about confronting expectations with reality; traditions with needs; grief with joy; burdens with rest.
Come and join us as we encourage each other to hold on to the most important things with grace and imitate Christ by loving each other.
See you there!

The early Jewish believers had come from a background of legalism and works. When God came to earth in human flesh as the New Covenant, these believers discovered the freedom they could have in Jesus and the relationship they could enjoy with Him. Yet in the midst of persecution and rejection, they were often tempted to hold on to the former symbols, rituals, and traditions
grounded in the requirements of the Old Covenant.

The unknown author of Hebrews sought to address this problem by contrasting the Old and New Covenants, brilliantly showing that Christ is higher than any Old Testament character, priest, ritual, or sacrifice. Because of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, He is the perfect sacrifice and our own High Priest. And He has given all believers unfettered access to God!

The rapture is the central event in biblical prophecy. But what does it mean for us today? How can this crucial end times event draw us nearer to God in a world that is seemingly on the brink of chaos? Political turmoil, economic uncertainty, an ideological divide that feels increasingly impassable—the signs of the times point us toward the end, and that can be disconcerting.
But the greatest truth about the rapture is not its timing, but its reality—for blessed are all who long for His appearing.
The Great Disappearance is a culmination of decades of Dr. Jeremiah studying end times throughout the Bible. In this definitive volume he will explain the meaning of the word rapture, the difference between the rapture and the second coming, and the joy of expecting our Savior to come at any given moment. Dr. Jeremiah will also explore key questions such as:
 Who will be raptured?
 When will it happen?
 What will happen to those left behind?
 What will believers experience when they are taken away to heaven?
 Will non-believers still have time to repent and be saved?
Dr. Jeremiah seeks to answer all of those questions and many more, not with sensationalism or stories ripped from the headlines but with solid, biblical truth. Because God has laid out His plan for us in His Word so that we might not be caught unaware. We may not know the exact date that the rapture will happen, but we do know it will happen. Are you ready for it?

Have you ever felt like throwing your arms up and say, ‘I’m done’ when a project isn’t progressing?  Stumped at the next step?  Want to share your abilities so others will enjoy it as much as you do?  Want to learn new techniques?  Start a new hobby?  Then it is time to spend a few hours with ones who need this kind of break.  Join us for a time of fellowship, teaching, sharing, learning and just fun with sewing and crafts.  We meet every Thursday.  You will be responsible for your own project, equipment, supplies and your sack lunch.  Tables and chairs will be provided with set up and cleanup to be shared by all.
