Dear Church Family,
We likely all have some relationships that are shallow or even artificial. It is important for us to get to know people better. If married, it’s even more important to get to know our spouse better. But even more important… is getting to know God better! That is the prayer we’ll see in the Bible this coming Sunday… that we might know God better.
The more we learn about God and what he has done for us, the more we know the hope God gives us in Jesus. It’s a hope that is based on his power to raise the dead to life! Grasp the awesome scale of God’s love. God brings from death to life by grace. God has done resurrection before. We know He can do it again. There is no greater hope. May we “know greater hope!”
So please join us this Sunday for worship at 9:30 am as we continue our message series based on the book of Ephesians to explore this greater hope. This Sunday also we’ll welcome our Divine Savior Academy High School Choir who will be singing 3 songs.

Fellowship Events Team Serving Opportunity – As a church family, we support each other, are empowered to serve together, and embrace the unity we have in Jesus in our diversity. The Fellowship Event Team is a group of volunteers that serve to help strengthen the relationships we have with one another within our church family. We are blessed by events throughout the year where we get to know each other better. Opportunities to serve on the team vary and are flexible. Contact Staff Minister Becky with questions or interest.
