Success? Approval? Relationships? Pleasure? The next thing?
This life promises things we can chase, feel, and even enjoy for a time, but never hold on to.
Join us for PURSUIT to examine our lives and ask the questions,
“What am I chasing?” and “Will it last?”

SERVE OPPORTUNITIES
This year we are partnering with Christ Union Chapel and Lafayette Bible Church to sponsor Thanksgiving Baskets for West Virginia families.
You can be part of this blessing. A $100 sponsorship provides a complete Thanksgiving basket for a family—along with the saving message of Jesus Christ and a personal note from you.
If a full basket isn’t possible, any amount helps. Your gift will join with others to meet the needs of families who rely on this ministry.
What a privilege it is to sow seeds of compassion and share the love of Jesus with those around us!
