Congratulations to Braydon and Anna! Today they become Mr. & Mrs.!

We’re so happy for both of you! Braydon has grown up at Pope Drive and we look forward to getting to know Anna better in the days ahead!

Let’s cover their marriage in our prayers and encourage them as they begin this wonderful journey!

Philippians 4:6-7 is such a great reminder that not only will God give peace in times of crisis or fear, but He says that EVERYTHING you’re going through or struggling with, He hears your prayers. In Greek and English, this word means in totality, which points directly back to the cross. He has died, risen, ascended, and became the direct line of communication with our Heavenly Father and has given us the ability to ask the Father to help and intercede for us in the hard times.

Graduation is a time of change and growth. But thankfully, we serve the Mighty God who never changes! He empowers us, as Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us, with access to His throne, His intercession on our behalf, and grace to walk a daily life of obedience.

Come join us as we celebrate God’s faithfulness and Grayson’s graduation!

Silence is often equal to affirming. Determine to be like Daniel in scripture - set your heart toward the Lord and bring your friends with you!

We’re so thankful to announce that our new Youth Pastor and his wife Braidee are here and ready to minister as God leads.

Cole will be teaching Sunday School this coming Sunday!

Pray for them and their families as adjustments are made, as faith is stretched and grown, and as investments are made for the glory of God.

“And this is our prayer, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
Philippians 1:10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
Philippians 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:9-11
