Do you want to serve the church or the local community? Are you in need of counseling

and wise pastoral counsel? Are you looking to make some Christian friends? Maybe you

would like to be discipled, to learn some theology, to discuss the sermons and pray

together with fellow b rothers in Christ? Maybe, you have something to offer a you nger

Christian, a new mom or a troubled soul. Well, Shepherding Groups is where all of this

happens. We encourage you to make the commitment!

"82 percent of the un-churched are at least some what likely to attend church if they are

invited. Perhaps we need to pause on this response. Perhaps we need to restate it: More than

eight out of ten of the un-churched said they would come to church if they were

invited." Thom Rainer

If you take anything from the above quote, at least see that inviting people to church is worth

the risk. What better to invite than Easter. And, to make it easier we will be having services at

11:00 AM (no 9:30 services or evening services)
