"The Price and Privilege of Impact Living: Proof"
Galatians 5:16-26
Rev. Ferrell Towns
WELCOME! Our heartbeat is to Connect to Christ, Grow with Others, and Engage the World together as Family. We gather to be disciples totally committed to Christ, becoming like Him in supreme love for God, selfless love for others, and sacrificial love for the world as we go locally, regionally, and globally. We hope you participate today with an expectation to encounter the Lord and a desire to celebrate the wonder of Jesus. It’s all about Him!

Monthly Prayer Focus
Thankfulness - “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; his love endures forever.” Pray that this command of Scripture, which appears multiple times, would take root in our hearts. Pray that we would have an ongoing awareness of the blessings of the Lord (like His presence with us, His answers to prayer, and His provision of our daily needs) and that all things come from Him. Pray that we would not take the Lord or His goodness for granted and that we would foster an attitude of thanksgiving that endures year-round. Pray that we would be a grateful people in all circumstances and that this gratefulness would be a blessing and testimony to others. In our prayers and worship, may thanksgiving be always present.
