Important Info:
The Deacon Retreat Is Coming! - On February 4th and 5th, we’ll be gathering together for our next Deacon’s Retreat. This is not an overnight event, but here are a few of the details so far: On Friday night, we’ll have dinner together and then enjoy an activity. Then we’ll be together all Saturday morning. Please plan and secure those babysitters because we’d love to have you all attend this important event! More info to come soon.
Compass Classroom Classes Recorded - You will be able to find all of the upcoming classes that we record here (we’re going to add A Call To Arms and Equipped to this soon). The current Attributes of God classes can be found here. We’ll try to get that up every Sunday so that those who can’t attend can watch it at their earliest convenience.
