WEEKLY HIGHLIGHT

We are excited to invite you to join us for our Christmas Eve Services. We will have services on Friday, December 22 at 5 & 7 pm and on Sunday, December 24 at 2, 4 & 6 pm. There will be no Sunday morning services on Christmas Eve.

Each service will accommodate 500 attenders, so to assist us in having a place for you and your guests, we are asking you to give us a name + the number of tickets you will need. The name is only for the purposes of a placeholder. Thank you for helping us prepare for you! Sign up to attend a Christmas Eve Service here.

Would you like to play a role in helping make Christmas extra special for our community? Come be a part of our volunteer team for any of our services! You do not need to have prior experience in a serving role to sign up, we will cover the details of what you need to know leading up to the time of service. Sign up to serve on December 22 or December 24.

THIS WEEK'S SPEAKER

This Sunday we will continue in our series "The Divine Impression" looking at how God coming to earth changes hearts. The Divine Impression can be described with this quote from Max Lucado, “God is not distant; He is near. He is not vague; He is specific. He is not abstract; He is personal.” Troy Murphy, our lead pastor, will be speaking this weekend. Services will be at 8:00 and 10:00 am with a hot, delicious breakfast served at 9:00 am. We hope you join us!

ONGOING PROGRAMMING


RESTORE RETREATS 2024
We have a great variety of upcoming retreats planned for the 2024 season to share with you! It is our hope to create a counter-culture environment and movement of true, life sustaining rest. The pace of our culture is not only draining, but damaging. We desire to walk alongside men and women in a manner that serves them, refreshes them, and renews them so that they can live, love, and lead with a healthy soul. View our Winter Retreats here.
