August 22, 2021, Traditional Service, Promotion Sunday for Third Graders

For our regularly scheduled broadcasts at 11am and 1pm, we were having technical difficulties. We apologize for the inconvenience but wanted to make sure that you got to see this week’s recorded service! Today is Confirmation Sunday and Third Graders were given Bibles. We have re-instated the Passing of the Peace and the Children’s Sermon into the service for the first time in over a year! In announcements, we were reminded that TODAY is our Back-to-School Bash at 5:30pm in the Quad! (Remember towels for the slip n’ slides and wet bouncy houses!) Last, but certainly not least, this sermon is the continuation of a Series on Prayer. This week’s focus is Intercessory Prayer. Thank you for your patience and we send our blessings! #growingfaith
