For God so loved the world

that He gave His only Son

that whoever believes in Him

will not perish but

have eternal life.

John 3:16

The message is simple, God loves us, He sent Jesus to save us, Jesus gives us life eternal.

We don't need to make it complicated. Share this GOOD NEWS!

We made hearts in the style of Jim Dine

This week we had a Faith Family Activity, after getting to know each other better in a scavenger hunt game we learned that we are all an important piece to God’s church. Together with all believers we can be a picture of God’s love and Jesus’ Salvation to the world. We each made a cross that will be put together to create on big cross. Look for it in church this weekend! We were able to celebrate with each other Baptisms in January and February and renew our baptismal vows.
