Come Help Build homes of love with us
Jesus said that when we feed, clothe, and shelter others in need, we are loving Him as well. Our heart as a church is to do just that: to love God and to love people.
One of the wonderful ways we get to live out this mission is by partnering with our friends at Habitat for Humanity. On Saturday, November 22nd, we will meet at the Weavers Grove community to help build a home for one of our neighbors in need.
We have two shifts available, and you are welcome to sign up for one or both!
Please note that you will need to register with Habitat to participate.
Registration is required by November 20th.
What to Expect: Be ready for a day of hard, joyful work that may include squatting, bending, and climbing.
What to Wear: Closed-toe shoes are required. We highly suggest wearing long pants and clothes you are okay with getting dirty.
All participants must be 16+

Exodus: Red Sea Rescue and How Quickly We Forget
by: Pastor Joel Philbrook
The story of the Exodus is about God making a way out of bondage and oppression, while also making a way into a life of flourishing in connection with God and one another. When our human identity as God’s image bearers is called into question or stripped away, we easily believe the lies and deceits of the enemy again. We see it in the first Exodus as God rescues the ancient Israelites from slavery in Egypt under Pharaoh’s evil power, leading them through the wilderness as they learn to trust God for all they need, delivering them into the Promised land, safely in God’s presence to flourish as the humans they were created to be. We then continue to see it in a repeating cycle throughout Scripture, all the way to today. So, God, we need you. Will you do it again? Exo-dUS - Lead us out of the bondage of sin and death, that we might be on the way into the freedom of deep loving relationship with you and one another.
COMMUNION IS AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE. GLUTEN FREE OPTION AVAILABLE
