Back to School Praise & Prayers
Friday, August 21
4:30 pm
Worship Center
Going ‘Back to School’ will look different for everyone this year…whether it be virtual, 2 days a week, 5 days a week or homeschooling. It will be a challenge for most and we want to lift you up with songs of Praise and cover you with the blessing of Prayer.
This short service will live-stream on our Facebook page and on our website.
EDUCATORS FROM THE COMMUNITY ARE ENCOURAGED TO JOIN US IN PERSON!!
Our safety procedures include:
• Requiring masks to be worn during service.
• Utilizing chairs that can be sanitized before each service.
• Setting up chairs at the appropriate social distance.
• Providing hand sanitizer stations to use upon arrival and departure..
Either way, WE WANT TO SEE YOU...
Send us a selfie of your 'back to school mask' for a special video we are making.

Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered recovery program based on the Beatitudes. The purpose of CR is to fellowship and celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the 12 steps and 8 recovery principles. By applying these principles we experience freedom from our hurts, habits, and hang-ups ...creating peace, serenity, joy and a stronger personal relationship with God and others.

I will miss our weekly get-together and discussions but really believe that
it is a time to try and avoid any unnecessary community exposure until
we turn the corner on this virus. I will, of course, let you know as
soon as "the coast is clear" and we are ready to resume our weekly
meetings. In the meantime, blessings and good health to all of you.
Sincerely, Greg
