Saturday October 6: Prayer Event
Come join us at 5:30 p.m., Saturday, October 6, in the church parking lot. We will end our 24-hour prayer vigil for the IMAGINE Capital Stewardship Campaign with a huge prayer event. Bring your whole family as we gather to ask God's blessing on the land where our new children's building will stand. Chris Cadenhead will provide our music and our pastors will lead us in prayer. Following the prayer time, we will outline the building and the word "IMAGINE" with people and take an aerial photo of the whole group. We need a lot of people to make this a success! Come and take part in this historical event in the life of our church. You are asked to wear a white shirt and blue jeans so the outline will be easily seen in the photo.

October 7 through October 28: Lifestyle Stewardship Classes/Sermon Series
Come and be part of this adventure in personal and corporate spiritual growth. The path of stewardship is a path of unparalleled blessing, a path of partnership with God. Now is the time for our church to Imagine how the Lord wants to use us to “Go and Grow.”
