As part of our JUST ONE emphasis, we invite every member to join us for 50 days of Scripture and prayer leading up to Back to Church Sunday on September 20.

Each day includes a Bible passage focused on the Church, unity, community, discipleship, and our mission to share the Gospel. Simply read the day's Scripture, reflect on what God is saying, and pray for our church, your "one person," and the opportunities God places before you.

Together, let's seek God's heart, strengthen our church family, and prepare for what He wants to do in and through us.
                                                               One Church.      One Family.       One Body.
                                                               One Passage.    One Prayer.       One Step.

Read the passage slowly two or three times and ask.
