This month, Pastor Brad's message is a call to know our past - take a moment to read and think about his February message.
They also symbolize death and so remind us of our mortality. Thus, when the pastor uses his thumb to sign one of the faithful with the ashes, he says, "Remember that thou art dust, and unto dust thou shalt return."
Please take a moment during Ash Wednesday (Feb. 22) to stop for a moment to meditate, pray, as we enter the season of Lent.
Join us monthly (Feb. 12, 2012) at 7 pm in the sanctuary for a worship hour of music, prayer, and scripture. The music is guitar-driven, with drums, bass guitar, and vocals. This service is intended to be an addition to your Sunday morning worship experience. Click here for a flyer!
If a louder, more edgy sound is not what you are looking for, this may not be for you. If your soul needs to cry out to God in song, come, all who are thirsty.
Join us in our Sunday morning worship services at 9:30 a.m.
Our services are a blend of
the contemporary and the traditional. We offer a nursery for infants and toddlers, and
Sunday School for the children.
A time of fellowship follows the service, and prayer
partners are available at that time.

Last month, we asked, "Do you know where you're going? Are you headed towards your goal? What is your goal?"
Ashes are a biblical symbol of mourning and penance. In Bible times the custom was to fast, wear sackcloth, sit in dust and ashes, and put dust and ashes on one's head. Blessed ashes having been used in God's rituals since the time of Moses (Numbers 19:9-10, 17).
