I love the way we are launching into 2017 with our FREEDOM series, remembering we serve an abundant, loving heavenly Father and that true freedom is found in a rich relationship with Him. So many of you are joining us on this spiritual adventure and inviting your friends and family on this journey as well. But what is a spiritual adventure? And why would you want to go on one? Kenton will be back this weekend reminding us that our God is a God of adventure and everything we are longing for is found through a spiritual journey with Him.
Also, so many of you have commented on how valuable and inspiring the Daily Read Recap has been and invited your friends to jump in with us! There are still a handful of Bibles available in the bookstore and it is always available as a free app. Checkout the video below from our life groups pastor Erin Kerr and join the adventure of hearing God’s voice as He leads us into this year.
Looking forward to seeing and being with you guys this weekend.

Freedom is found in a rich relationship with God. We were reminded of this last weekend as we launched into our FREEDOM series, remembering that the world is desperate to trap us in our selfishness. But God has freed us and everything our souls truly long for can be found through our relationship with Jesus: a life of peace, contentment and hope!
This weekend Kenton is back and he’s looking forward to helping us take our next step towards freedom together. Invite your friends and family to be a part of all God is doing in and through our church.
Also, I love how so many of you have jumped in on the One Year Bible daily read. One of the new things we are trying is a Daily Read Recap where pastors from our staff will bring you up to speed on the journey through God’s Word, as well as highlight something God has been saying. Catch the first installment (below) and make sure you look for it every single week. Feel free to share with your friends and invite them to join the journey of reading God’s Word with us!
