Fighter Verses-- We continue the Fighter Verses Scripture Memory program this year.  Make sure to pick up a 2026 Bookmark which gives tips for Scripture memory and our verse for each week.  Memorizing Scripture is a great way to deepen your faith and grow in your discipleship in the new year.  

Thank you to the members of early church for the generous money gift you presented to me in last Sunday’s service. Also, my sincerest thanks to others who have given me gifts in recognition of Pastor Appreciation month. The support and encouragement of my church family makes me feel well loved, and I assure you that the feeling is mutual! In Christ’s Love, Pastor Natalie
