What is your routine?New Sermon Series: Daily Reminders What is your routine? What are the things in your life that get ongoing attention? What are the essential things that get dropped or forgotten? In his book, ‘Habits of the Household’ Justin Earley says, “Good or bad, a rut is a rut, and our brains love ruts.” How do we get out of a rut? How do we reevaluate the focus of our days? And most importantly, how do we encounter Jesus in a meaningful way as part of our daily rhythms? This week, we will look at the story of Mary and Martha and what Jesus teaches us about our need to connect with Him despite all the tasks that need to be done. Jesus is not another task. He doesn’t want to be on an empty to-do list. Encountering Him is the spiritual practice that we need in every season of life. For more infomation visit:

2023 Bible Reading Plans
For most of us, reading through the entire Bible is a daunting task. At the same time, it is also a worthy and rewarding mountain to climb. For those who have walked these trails with a heart seeking after the Living God, we know the blessings are incaluable, and that it's worth every step. We encourage you to try a Bible Reading Plan this year. If you have tried in the past, maybe this is the time to try it again. We are offering two options: 1) Digital Option - Download the "Youversion" Bible App onto your Smartphone. Once you have it downloaded, choose "Plans", and "Bible in a Year", and select one of the many plans available. You can also choose to read through the bible in 2 or 3 years, depending on the season of life you are in. 2) Paper Option - On Sunday, pick up the printed Bible Reading plan that will be available after the service. Work through the readings at whatever pace you feel is comfortable. It might take one year or many to read through the entire bible, but having a record is a nice way to celebrate when you have finished! Whatever you choose, let us know when you have finished or how it's going because we would love to celebrate with you! |

Small Groups!How to Sign Up Small Groups are starting again after the winter break, and so this is a great time to join (if you don't already have a group). Small Groups are an essential part of your spiritual journey. They help us to grow deeper relationships, walking with other Christians who can strengthen, comfort, and encourage us. It's where the rubber meets the road! There are two ways to join: 1) Fill out an orange "Discipleship" card at church on Sunday. We'll get back to you as soon as we can with possible groups. 2) Head to our Small Groups Website, consider the groups that have space, and click "request to join" on a group that fits your schedule.
