Messy Church! 2nd Wednesdays

june-18-1

June 13, July 11, Aug. 8 – 

On June 13 we will begin a new thing: Messy Church!  Messy Church is a monthly intergenerational, Christ-centered, hospitable, and creative event that will be an alternative to our traditional VBS.. Messy Church begins with a community meal and includes a worship time and creativity time.

Messy Church will meet monthly on the 2nd Wednesday night (June 13, July 11, and August 8).  In order to make Messy Church a reality, we need your prayers and, if you are able bodied, your hands to help.  Each month we need food preparers and clean up helpers (talk to Sandy Paul) and folks to help facilitate the creative time (we still need a creativity coordinator).

The entire event will take place in the Multi-Purpose Room from 6:00pm until 7:30pm.

We have invited our neighbors, the families of Seminole Academy, to come and be a part of Messy Church.  Our goal is to spread God’s love through the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are either unchurched, de-churched, or simply looking for a change to the routine of church. 

Come and join us for Messy Church!!

See the sign-up sheet on the Library Window or talk to Rev. Alicea.

SERMON SERIES!
Begins April 8th

april-18-1

Based on the movie “I Can Only Imagine” (in theatres now).  The local church has been charged with the mission of sharing the hope of the gospel, but it can be challenging in a broken world.  As people of Christ, we have seen people falter at the unexpected.  How can you help restore the hope when someone feels rejected, guilty or broken.  Before he became the Leader of the Band “Mercy Me”, Bart Millard suffered a painful childhood.  Abused by his father, Bart built walls around his heart, he couldn’t see any hope.

In this series, we will delve into Bart’s story of pain, redemption, forgiveness and God being glorified.  I hope you will join us every Sunday as we see ourselves through God’s eyes, and find healing, hope and restoration.
