The Tech-wise Family by Andy Crouch
Making conscientious choices about technology in our families is more than just using internet filters and determining screen time limits for our children. It's about developing wisdom, character, and courage in the way we use digital media rather than accepting technology's promises of ease, instant gratification, and the world's knowledge at our fingertips. And it's definitely not just about the kids.ARTICLE

"Overcoming Apathy" Sermon Series
January 29, 2023
Phil Heller
Crossroads Counseling Center
Life does not always happen the way we think it should. Sometimes we find that we need Christ-centered guidance to help us navigate through present difficulties and past hurts. Learn more about the Crossroads Counseling Center here!
Freedom Prayer is an intentional, private, intercessor-led prayer time, connecting people to God. Truths encountered in prayer move from “head knowledge” to experiencing that truth in the heart (Psalm 51:6), which brings about life change, greater freedom, and deeper intimacy with the Lord.

Join us in a Bible reading plan.
• Read the Bible in a year!
In 2023, as we seek to ABIDE by Being with God, Being with Others, and Being Sent, we want to kick off the year with a Bible-in-a-year Reading Plan! Will you join us? Within the YouVersion Bible app, we have chosen to use the Bible Project's "One Story That Leads to Jesus" reading plan. We will begin reading together this weekend!
• 14 Days of Hope and Encouragement
If a year-long Bible reading plan is a little intimidating (or if it just isn't enough!), we have also identified a plan that leads us through the book of Philippians in 14 days.
Let's memorize this scripture! Philippians 1:9-11
