OUR HOURS
SUNDAY
Bible Class: 9:15am
Each Sunday afternoon and evening, our oikos groups meet throughout the area.
These small, multi-generational groups exist to help us develop Christ-likeness
and Christian community in a seven day a week “real world” context. As our
church continually strives to develop our identity as followers of Jesus, partners
in Kingdom, and voices of Unity, oikos helps us put rubber to road.
We would like to invite every member to participate in oikos, and we extend an
Worship: 10:20am

WEDNESDAY
we’re up to.
Dinner: 6:00pm
If you aren’t part of a group and you would like to be plugged in, let Rob or Noel
Bible Class: 7:00pm
know or contact the church office.

Every Thursday at noon a group of us meet for table fellowship
followed by a time of prayer. Anyone who would like to join us is
welcome to bring a sack lunch and meet with us in the conference
room.
With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with
this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for
all the saints, and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given
to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness
the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in
chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to
speak.
~ Ephesians 6:18-20
