THIS SUNDAY

November 8, 2026

Rev. Adam Spore, Lead Pastor - 8:30 am Traditional Worship

& 11:15 am Modern Worship

Rev. Val Stewart, Associate Pastor - 11:00 am Traditional Worship

 

Before the Christmas rush takes over, we want to slow down and prepare our hearts on purpose. For the next three weeks, our Pre-Advent series invites us to gift intentionally, love intentionally, and worship intentionally. We start with a verse many of us know by heart: “God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). Paul meant something deeper than a smile in the offering line, because real giving starts with thinking about the person who receives the gift. Join us this Sunday as we learn to give with joy, both at church and under the Christmas tree.
