SUNDAY WORSHIP
Aug 23 @ 10:00a
Checking the Fruit (Luke 6:43-45)
Jesus teaches that His followers are called to exercise discernment without becoming judgmental. Just as a tree is known by its fruit, our words and actions reveal the condition of our hearts. As disciples, we must be willing to recognize what is true and what is sinful while remembering our own need for God’s grace. Ultimately, Christ is the perfect Judge who took our judgment upon Himself so that we might be forgiven and live righteous lives in an upside-down world.
MEMBERS LUNCHEON AND MEETING
August 23, 11:30a
This is our quarterly meeting. Fried chicken and drinks will be provided, bring sides and desserts to share. After lunch, we’ll have a quick Business Meeting. Everyone is welcome to attend – members are expected to attend. Click here for a copy of the agenda.
