 Join us on the 1st and 3rd Sunday afternoons of each month, from 4:33- 5:48pm!
Joe Elliott and Larry Barnett are leading our youth through planting the Word of God through relevant study and enjoying the fellowship of one another.
If you would like to help the youth with fundraisers or snacks please contact the office for details.
Any of us who have ever planted anything, knows that there needs to be good roots for water, nutrients, and oxygen to help the plant grow. Without these very important "bones" of the plant, leaves will not grow properly, and if it's a fruit-bearing plant, the fruit will not be good, if it even does grow!
The Christian life is the same way! We need to know our roots, understand them and their role in God's kingdom. If our roots are too cramped, we will not grow to the full potential God has planned for us. Scripture talks a lot about fruits that we produce. What do those mean to us in our daily lives? Can we really be "fruity" and live in the real world?
See you there!
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful natureand following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. --Ephesians 2.1-10
