Today’s Worship Service

Morning Worship: 10:30 a.m.
Sunday School: 9:00 a.m.
Pastor Chip Stevens continues the sermon series, “Finding Rest for Your Soul.” Between family, work, and church responsibilities there’s hardly any time for rest anymore. It’s not that we don’t try. We try to get away for a weekend or a week from time to time, but it never really gives us the rest that we need. Maybe the rest we need is not just physical, but spiritual. Through God’s Word, we’ll learn about the importance of spiritual rest, the enormous impact it can have on your life, and how to find it.
