Thank You Morales Family!
This Sunday will be our final Sunday worshiping and fellowshipping with the Morales family before their move.
For the past 12 years, Erwin, Kathy, and their family have faithfully served and been a cherished part of our church family. We are so grateful for the love, commitment, and friendship they have shared with us over the years.
As they begin this new chapter, we want to send them off with our love, prayers, and blessings for all that God has ahead for them!
Please join us this Sunday as we say farewell and pray over the Morales family. They will be outside the New Children's Wing following the second service, where you’ll have an opportunity to connect, share your love, and wish them well.

The goal of Walking With Them is to inform family members and friends about how to walk alongside those who have been through loss.

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 sponsoring a full basket isn’t possible, a donation of 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!

For children around the world, a shoebox is often their very first gift. Given together with the Good News of Jesus Christ, it communicates God’s love to a boy or girl in need. So, it is important to make sure your gift is …
FUN—includes a “wow” item and other quality toys
FULL—packed to the brim with additional school supplies and personal care items
PERSONALIZED—prayed over and contains a note and photo, which are often the child’s favorite items!
Grab a box this Sunday in our Church Lobby!
Shoeboxes are due back, Nov 15th!
