Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations
Five Practives of Fruitful Congregations

Combined Sunday School
9:45 a.m. in the Chapel


Come and see what God can do when we take a risk in faith to act radically, extravagantly, intentionally, and passionately. Join the pastors on Sunday mornings at 9:45 a.m. in the Chapel as they rotate facilitating a study on the book, Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations by Robert Schase, that is creating all the “buzz” around church.

May 4:     Risk-taking Mission and Service, Rev. Tom Jones
May 11:   Passionate Worship, Rev. Wendy Cordova

Hosted by the Lost and Found Sunday School Class.

Everyone, whether you are part of a Sunday School class or not, is invited to come and see.
