6pm ~ DEEPER | The Fall: 2 Samuel 11 | Nobody plans to wreck their life. Yet even people who love God can make choices with devastating consequences. King David’s tragic fall reminds us how quickly temptation can lead to compromise, how sin grows when we try to hide it, and why our choices matter far beyond ourselves. Join us Sunday evening at 6:00 as we explore the dangers of an unguarded heart—and the grace of a God who refuses to give up on us.

Sat, Oct 24: Pumpkinfest at Prestoncrest

Tues, Oct 27: Day of Prayer and Fasting ~ Our elders are asking all to set aside Tues, October 27 to come together as one in spirit for a day of fasting and prayer for our nation. At 9pm (CST) on this day, individually and wherever you are, join us in prayer for peace, unity, and God’s blessing and wisdom as we elect leaders for our country. Qs?
