BULLETIN
January 30, 2026
Thank you all for coming out this evening. I’m grateful that we can take time to gather together and worship as a church family.
Our theme for 2026 is Real Faith Works, and I want to thank Myles for his design work on the theme and our bulletins. We’re already seeing this theme lived out in real time, even as we experience back-to-back winter storms. We trust that the Lord is sovereign over all things—He holds the storehouses of snow, and nothing takes Him by surprise.
I’m thankful for the Lord’s protection over our church family as winter storm Fern passed through last weekend, and I’m continuing to pray for your safety as another storm approaches this weekend.
This Sunday at 10:00 AM., we’ll be releasing a video where the pastors and I will highlight what God did in 2025 and share some exciting news for 2026!
