Last year, Janice Watson gave a beautiful, patriotic testimony regarding her calling to use her nursing skills for Veterans. Here, Janice discusses the importance of MEMORIALIZING those who came before us. This MEMORIAL DAY, who will you honor for his/her sacrifices to our country? GOD BLESS THE USA!! 🇺🇸
Congratulations Graduates!
Congratulations to our Preschool Graduates and our Senior Graduates of 2022!! What an accomplishment for each of you! You are loved, adored, and watched over. So many people are praying for your future, whether it’s kindergarten, college, or your first job. Always remember this special verse from Jeremiah 29:11 — “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (NIV)
How to “Be the Difference,” from the Ellis’
Mark and Courtney Ellis talk about the importance of getting involved in church, as a married couple, as friends, and as parents. Listen for how Mark talks about things coming “full circle.” You can always “Be the Difference” in small ways.
Please join us as Shane continues his Sermon Series on “Be the Difference.” If you missed the 9AM service, you can watch the 11AM service at live.spumccolumbus.com. This week, the sermon is subtitled “Problematic Blessings.”
