WORSHIP

SERMON SERIES: Soul Care . thru July 26

In a world that is loud, hurried, and exhausting, it is easy for the soul to grow weary and disconnected from God. Through the story of Elijah, we see that God does not abandon us in seasons of dryness, anxiety, or fatigue, but gently restores the soul through provision, rest, quiet presence, and renewed purpose. As we walk with Elijah, we are reminded that when our inner light begins to dim, God faithfully rekindles it by drawing us back into a deeper, steadier life with Him. This series is meant to be both meaningful and practical, helping us move from simply hearing the Word to truly tending to our spiritual lives. Download this Study and Prayer Guide, for both small groups and personal use. The guide offers Scripture, reflection, and prayer practices to help you care for your soul throughout the week. Join us on Sundays at 9 am in the Sanctuary for our Traditional service and 10:30 am in The New Room for Cross Connect, our Contemporary service.
