Dear Church Family,
It’s not easy being a Christian in our world. But the living hope of Easter makes it easier, makes it possible. We learn how to think with hope and how to live with hope. The way we live shows where we are placing our hope. God made us “foreigners” in this world with the new home He has promised us. Do we live as “foreigners”? What Jesus did for us at Easter gives us all the reason in the world for hope and for living differently than those who think that this life is all there is.
Join us this Sunday as we continue to series on 1 Peter – The Living Hope of Easter.
ICYMI – Here’s a link to last Sunday’s service and my message based on 1 Peter 1:1-12.
DSYouth – DSYouth meets TODAY Friday, April 12. If you’re a Middle School or High school student and you’re interested in growing as a disciple of Jesus alongside other Christians, DSYouth is for you! We study the Bible together, pray together, and talk about how we live as followers of Jesus in our world. There are usually some games and snacks each time we meet. Our motto is “Disciples of Christ, Stronger Together. Join us from 6:00-8:00 pm! We’ll meet in the Worship Space. Click here for the required Parent Consent and here for Student Registration.
