This summer, I have been lifting up the importance of RENEWAL! To be the persons that God created us to BE! Why not take this summer to get things going right in your life? To grow just like our gardens and produce good fruit in our lives? Tired of the old life? Looking for something new and meaningful? Join us this July in a Sermon Series that looks at the Spiritual “Fruits of the Spirit” and how we can make this A SUMMER OF RENEWAL in looking at cultivating these positive fruits in our lives. Instead of taking a “Vacation FROM CHURCH!” Let’s get a summer BOOST! Show yourselves as a Christian! Show ourselves as intentional “Followers of Christ!” as we live in the power of the Holy Spirit! Let’s get some “Fruit of the Spirit” in our lives! Let’s experience summer with a purpose and a fun way of living the Christian life from the book of GALATIANS! Join us as we talk about Love, Joy, Peace, Kindness, Goodness, and more! every Sunday in July! Celebrate our FREEDOM FOR LIVING that comes from Jesus and following Him! + KID RENEWAL – VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL!
