Join us for a dynamic, contemporary worship in one of three formats:

• Testimonial service  where people can stand before the church to tell their story, where their faith has led them and where it is taking them

Are you carrying ?

Join us at the Adult Forum (10:45 a.m. on Sunday) for a discussion on the thought bending video clip called, Luggage.  Maybe a friend turned their back on you.  Maybe someone you loved betrayed you.  We all have wounds and we end up carrying around these things (baggage) that people have done to us.  It isn’t always easy to forgive these people and after a while these hurts can get really heavy.  So the only way to feel better seems to be somehow getting back at the people who hurt us, to get revenge.  But does revenge ever truly satisfy?  Maybe forgiveness is about you.  God didn’t create you to carry these wounds around.  God created you to be free.
