A Note from Pastor Roger

Hey Church Family,
Tomorrow, the United States turns two hundred forty-nine years old. In the grand scheme of history, that's still quite young, but God has done so many incredible things in and through our country in that short time since that turning point of July 4, 1776.
Now, that freedom didn’t come easy; it took years of struggle and bravery, and nearly two-and-a-half centuries later, we still get to celebrate the incredible gift of living in a country where we can worship God freely.
As you spend time with family and friends this Independence Day weekend, take a moment to thank God for His grace over our lives and our nation. Let’s use the freedom we’ve been given to share His love with the people around us!
