A “heads up” for men: On the evening of October 22, we’ll have the opportunity to learn once again from our friend Russell Moore. You may recall Dr. Moore’s visit last September and his Sunday message, “Christ in an Orphan-Making Culture.” This time his theme will relate to his recent book, Tempted and Tried: Temptation and the Triumph of Christ. The meeting start time is 7 p.m. Stay afterwards for macho snacks and an all-out epic game of dodge ball!

Pastors on Retreat
0 Comments
The pastoral team left this morning for a retreat in southern Maryland. Let’s remember to pray for them faithfully over the course of this week.
A helpful quote:
Let the thought sink deep into the heart of every church, that their minister will be such a minister as their prayers make him. … How perilous is the condition of that minister ... whose heart is not encouraged, whose hands are not strengthened, and who is not upheld by the prayers of his people!
—Gardiner Spring (1785-1873)
“Brothers, pray for us.” —1 Thessalonians 5:25
