Our church's quest for "maximum impact" calls for us to offeras much evidence as necessary to "as many people as possible." But if we are not careful, the quest for impact can ironically quench our impact. What do we need to watch out for?

If you are our guest today, please stop by one of the Welcome Centers before you leave to get more information and a gift.If you have children, we provide very safe surroundings and wonderful activities.

Please fill out the Communication Card which is in yourbulletin and place it in the basket on your way out. Don’thesitate to jot down a prayer request. Again, welcome, as we worship God for who He is and listen to what He says.
