Welcome Home Sunday
You are invited to our Welcome Home Sunday on October 27th, at 10:00am.
There’s something about home. Home is where you relax after a long day of work. Home is where you can let your hair down, because you know the people there will love you, even with your quirks and flaws. Home is where you feel most safe, in a world which is anything but.
Jesus intended for his church to be more than a school where we learn about God’s Word. He intended it to be more than a cathedral where we praise our Creator. Jesus intended for church to be a home, a place where we gather with Christian family and enjoy all the blessings of home.
On October 27th, we are celebrating Welcome Home Sunday. We will talk about the importance of having the support of a Christian community. One major goal for this Sunday? We want to have 100% of our members in attendance. Let’s pack the house! Let’s see what that looks like, when every member comes together. Please do everything possible to set that date aside so you can join your brothers and sisters in Christ. We will have just one service at 10:00am which will followed by food and a band outside on our church parking lot and lawn.

Invest Wisely in True Riches
Turn of the century author, Ambrose Bierce said, “Money is the chief god of America’s leading religion.” Do you think he was right? Others would argue that the driving force in our country is not freedom, but greed. Are they right?
“Lord, Teach Us to Pray”
“Ask and you shall receive.” That’s what Jesus said, right? Then why do prayers go unanswered? In the midst of not knowing, we say “Lord, Teach Us to Pray.”
Even When He’s the Guest, He’s the Host
What pops into your mind when you hear the term, “worship service?” Probably multiple things. Perhaps it’s the hymns we sing? Maybe it’s the sermon or the lessons? Maybe it’s the prayers? Perhaps it’s the Lord’s Supper?
God’s Loving Justice: Caring for Souls in Need
Today we take off the blindfold to see God’s loving justice as he commands us to care for souls in need.
How Should A Christian Handle Panhandlers?
Caring for the poor is not difficult to understand, but it can be difficult to do in our modern context. God’s people often feel this tension when it comes to panhandlers begging on the street corners of Madison.
