UPCOMING EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
- SPRING IS HERE! As we celebrate this long-awaited spring season, let’s remember to celebrate God’s beautiful creation which includes both nature and His crowning joy—you and me! Take a moment to thank God today for the amazing gift of our beautiful world as everything awakens from its winter slumber. As you watch the buds begin to emerge and hear the birds singing, we pray that your own soul will be refreshed by the warmth of God’s love.
They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do.
Psalm 1:3 (NLT)
