From our Pastor: ~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey all,... It’s likely that you’re watching the events in D.C. unfold right now. I am too, and I find it scary. Instead of our typical Bible Study, let’s use this scheduled time to pray together. I’ll be streaming live this evening (1/6) at 6pm, and I hope you’ll join me: Youtube: https://bit.ly/2VfOqni Facebook: https://bit.ly/2LjefRN Let’s be holding each other and our nation in prayer. I love you. In Christ, Pastor James

The need for rest is a universal trait that bridges nature, humanity, and even God. And while productivity can be important, it's essential that we all find time for rest. Join us this Sunday as we explore the "rest" in our own lives--perhaps you're being called to more of it!

At first glance, these bags don't look like much. Oh, how looks can be deceiving! We'd like to give a huge shout-out to Deacon Shirley Latham, who worked with her neighbors to gather 18 bags of clothes to be distributed to Philadelphia's homeless community. "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was i...n prison and you came to visit me.’" (NIV Matthew 25:35-36). Thank you, Shirley, for loving your neighbor! Interested in learning more about our community? Why not join us for worship? We stream live on Sundays @ 11:30am on Facebook.
