We seek peace with God (Gal. 1:34; Phil. 4:9), peace among ourselves (2 Cor. 13:11; I Thess. 5:12-13) and as much as is possible, peace with all men (Heb. 12:14; Rom. 12:18). Peace with God will be ours only when we live in harmony and accord with His will (II John 9; II Thess. 1:7-9). Peace with all men will come only when we love others in the same way we love ourselves (Rom. 13:9; Matt. 5:43-44). We must love each other with a pure heart fervently (I Pet. 1:22; John 13:35). Living in this sinful world with all of its strife and unrest would indeed be most miserable without the peace of God ruling in our hearts. The knowledge that we are safe in the arms of Jesus as we struggle with the troubles of this world brings a calmness and a peace that does pass all understanding. When we commit our entire being, our lives, our souls, and all that we are and have into the hands of God, there will be a calmness, a quietness that will engulf us. Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God as we patiently wait for that day when we will fly away to the land where joys shall never end (Rom. 8:35-39; II Tim. 1:12).

Our next step is to test out the touch screen attendance process. We have one touch screen set up for now just as a test. Find your name on the screen and tap it or click it. That’s it! Once we get the hang of it, there will be more touch screens around the building. We will all use them for a while but eventually, they will be used by our visitors and those without smartphones. Everyone else will download the ChurchHarmony App to their phones and mark their attendance via the app.
Please notify the church office of your special day or occasion by Fax, Email or Phone. Thank You! Please notify us of your recovery to make room on the list for others to be added.

Matthew 28:19-20 is the great commission given to members of the body of Christ. As Christians, it is our responsibility to Tell, Talk and Teach others about Jesus. Telling someone about Christ will often open the door to Talk with them about Him. You can then Teach them or invite them to Church where they can be taught. We encourage each Christian to take advantage of such opportunities. If you know of a prospect, and for some reason cannot conduct a personal Bible study, please give their contact information to Bro. and/or Sis. Oliver or to one of the members of our Leadership Team.
