Romans 12 is an incredibly rich passage on what it looks like to live as a Christian in all aspects of life. I'll cover a bit of this chapter in the newsletters over the next couple of weeks, beginning this week with verses 9-13. This passage puts in very simple terms the marks of those who are living in the way to which Jesus calls us, especially in the way we engage with those around us and the circumstances we face. I pray that the Lord may help us to live in this way each day! - Pastor Rob
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
Romans 12:9-13 ESV
Veteran's Coming Home Lunch || 1/21/26

Men's Tailgate Party || 1/25/26 || 1:30 PM || Upstairs Gym & Fellowship Hall
Get ready for an afternoon packed with fellowship, food, and football! Join us Sunday, January 25th at 1:30 PM upstairs in the Gym & Fellowship Hall as we fire up the fun for the AFC Championship Game.
Bring your appetite, your energy, and your favorite tailgate snack to share—because what’s a tailgate without some great eats? We’re asking men for a $10 donation, boys and guests come free!
This is the perfect chance to kick back, cheer loud, laugh hard, and connect with friends—old and new. Bring a buddy, invite someone who needs a good time, or just come ready to meet some awesome guys.
