Do you want to serve the church or the local community? Are you in need of counselingand wise pastoral counsel? Are you looking to make some Christian friends? Maybe youwould like to be discipled, to learn some theology, to discuss the sermons and praytogether with fellow brothers in Christ? Maybe, you have something to offer a youngerChristian, a new mom or a troubled soul. Well, Shepherding Groups is where all of thishappens. We encourage you to make the commitment!

"82 percent of the un-churched are at least some what likely to attend church if they areinvited. Perhaps we need to pause on this response. Perhaps we need to restate it: More thaneight out of ten of the un-churched said they would come to church if they wereinvited." Thom Rainer

If you take anything from the above quote, at least see that inviting people to church is worththe risk. What better to invite than Easter. And, to make it easier we will be having services at11:00 AM (no 9:30 services).

Starting last week, Pastor Brandon began looking at the tJesus, James and Job, be tackling some of the toughest now? How do I cope? Who is to blame? We will see in thradically unique from any other perspective this world hsuffering with all the realism and hope that the Bible offerof the one who came to us and suffered on our account.
