This past Monday, parents, volunteers, and kids gathered for a first-of-a-kind Hope activity – a great hike at Roxborough State Park! This great group hiked a 2.2 mile trail and saw deer, a snake, lizards, butterflies, a historic homestead, wildflowers, red rocks, wild grasses, and grasshoppers! The hikers also enjoyed climbing, exercise, discovery, exploration, teamwork, laughter, grit, intergenerational friendship, appreciation of God’s majestic creation, and healthy snacks. Thanks to all who attended – what a great time!
9 AM SUNDAY WORSHIP | JULY 16. The continual sacrifices of the law were good because they temporarily eliminated our guilt and debt for sinning against God. But the once-for-all self-sacrifice of Jesus is better because it permanently eliminated our guilt and debt, it completely restored our relationship with God, and it’s making us perfect. Join us this Sunday as Executive Pastor Arik Stewart brings us a message titled Once for All from Hebrews 10:1-18. If you are unable to join us in person, please visit the 9 a.m. livestream or view the recording here.

This 3rd Sunday of the month, children, ages 0-3 are invited to join Rebecca K. and Mirabel in the Nursery for a sweet time of play, story, and music.
