Join your brothers from several churches as we sing God’s praises, hear His Word, fellowship with and encourage one another and enjoy rest, recreation and lunch together!
The church is a glorious organism with a high calling! She is the temple of the living God (2 Cor 6:16), the flock of God which He obtained with His own blood (Acts 20:28), the household of God (1 Tim 3:15), the body of Christ (1 Cor 12:27), and has been commissioned by her Head with a mission of cosmic proportions. And every believer has been made a part of this church and gifted with a role to fulfill. Yet often we may find ourselves lost in the church, uncertain of our place and role, or discouraged, indifferent, or even cynical. But God’s word lifts us out of such difficulties and equips us to flourish in the church and to serve joyfully in significant ways in Christ’s body. Join us for a time of singing, prayer, preaching, group discussion, and mutual encouragement with your brothers in Christ, that together we would recapture Christ’s vision for the church and be equipped to play our part in the body of our glorious Redeemer!
Ephesians 4:15-16 “…speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” (ESV)
