Weekly Worship Service

Sunday at 10 a.m. Pastor Kim will be speaking on Vanishing Grace, based on a series by Philip Yancey examining why the church often stirs up negative feelings. Our world has a desperate need for grace and Christians can help make the gospel good news again.

Prayer Focus: Reflecting Back, Looking Ahead

“You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.” Psalm 139:5

“I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” Philippians 3:12-14

“Surely Your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:6

Family News

Our condolences and prayers go out to Rodney, Jessica and Luke, and Nick and their family. Robert Badgley, Rodney’s brother, passed away on Wednesday, December 27. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Thank you to all who prayed for him these past weeks.
