Reigniting Your Spiritual life: Five Words That Lead To Greater Joy In Christ
Week 4 | Walk
What would it take to regain your passion for God? Deep inside do you have the nagging thought that there must be more to your Christian faith than what you are currently experiencing? What are some of the clues we find in the Word of God that will help us to rekindle our first love for God? During this 5 week series we will look at five words that will help us move out of our spiritual doldrums and into a vibrant walk with Christ. Don’t miss it!
Our nursery will be open this week!
We’ve made plans for additional safety and cleaning procedures and are looking forward to welcoming children age 0-2 into our nursery area during both services and our Sunday School hour.
We encourage you to fill out the online Friendship Register when you worship with us online or in person. You can share prayer requests, ask questions about our ministries, or just let us know that you’d like someone to contact you.
Deeply Rooted in God’s Word Together
From June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021 we will be focused on intentionally setting aside time to read God’s Word. We have some tools for you as well as ways to let us know what you've been reading so we can track our progress as a church family. We'd like read 52,000 chapters this year!
We have a basket for completed cards in the foyer. You’ll want to pick up your Oct-Nov card this week! If you’ve been letting us know how many chapters you’re reading through our online form, we don’t need the cards back - we don’t want to count the chapters twice. But if you haven’t told us yet, we really want to record your numbers so we can reach our goal of 52,000!
You can track any chapters that you read. If you aren’t sure where to start, we have resources to help on our website.

New Life Youth
We are looking forward to starting youth group again when we feel we can do so safely. Parents, we ask you to register your teens so we can be communicating with you through email and texts.
Want to help feed our youth???
It’s no surprise that teens like food! We are looking for some folks who would be willing to bring a snack for them on Wednesdays at the end of youth group. You could bake or buy the snack and it could be dropped off during the day at the church. We would welcome help from parents, grandparents, or anyone who has a heart to help us create a fun environment for our students to grow closer to Christ. Contact Jen Dingsor (605.881.9152) or Heather Hight (605.212.8093) if you are willing to be on our snack schedule - even just once would be appreciated!
