All Together THIS Sunday
Get ready for All Together Sunday: THIS SUNDAY JULY 5TH!
Six times a year we will intentionally have Sunday morning "family services" at both 9am and 10:30. (This is similar to our Christmas Weekend and Resurrection Sunday services in the past).
On these Sundays, there will not be separate programming for kids (no 2-4 year old's, CORE or 4REAL Worship) so that all ages can worship together in the Worship Center.
Are you concerned about your child sitting through the service ? An activity page will be available, the Nursery will be open for ages 0-24 months, and the Family Room will be available.

Community Partner Highlight
On July 23, 2006, members of Sparta Church stepped out in faith, leaving New Jersey for a 525‑mile journey to West Virginia. We didn’t know what we would face—only that God was calling us to go.
By week’s end, Shirley Blankenship, her daughter, and her grandchildren had something they hadn’t had in far too long: a dry, safe, comfortable home.
Twenty years later, with countless homes rebuilt, basketball games played, friendships formed, and—most importantly—thousands of lives touched by the love of Jesus Christ, the mission continues. We’ve had the privilege of rebuilding houses while the Holy Spirit rebuilds hearts.
Would you like to be the hands and feet of Christ? Whatever your gifts—swinging a hammer, cooking a meal, offering a smile—there is a place for you.
This year’s trip is July 12–18.
