MISSION is revealed in Scripture as God’s overall plan to restore that which was lost in Eden. MISSION is God’s idea, rooted in God’s love for sinners. MISSION is at the heart of every word in Scripture. MISSION is at the heart of why God called together His church. MISSION is what happened at Calvary, the grave and the empty tomb. MISSION is the heart of the OT and the NT! God’s MISSION is our MISSION through Jesus and the Gospel. Embrace MISSION church and experience the deepest pleasure’s of God! MISSIONS is our MISSION! Without MISSION we are purposeless and vision-less. With MISSION we bring great joy to our God in heaven!
 
THANKSGIVING is just ahead! Sign-up for our annual THANKSGIVING FAMILY DINNER on Tuesday evening, November 24 at 6:30 pm. This is always a fun time for us all! We fellowship together around dinner, we meet new people as we reflect on the goodness of God! IT’S ALWAYS GOOD TO COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. You can sign-up in Sunday School or at the Welcome Center. Try to make it; you will have a great time! 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
 
Remember to pray for each other. The Lord has brought us together at this crucial time in world history. Jesus may come today… we must be ready to meet the Lord. If you are not a believer, invite Jesus into your heart for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life!
