Be encouraged through messages of hope and truth, as well as opportunities for further Bible study and reflection, while getting church updates. We are currently taking a break from Midweek Connection as our team prepares for fall ministry opportunities. However, you can still view these weekly sessions we recorded from March into early August of 2020. They are posted on our Facebook page and online on our Vimeo showcase.

In this week’s Midweek Connection, Todd and Denny review what we've been learning from the book of Philippians as they discuss our series Joy Remains, and how relevant the truth of Paul's letters are for us especially today. They also provide some updates regarding future service details, and the return of fall ministry activities. Please know that this will be the final Midweek Connection for a while, as we will be taking a break so our team can focus on the ministry activities and events we are planning to bring back in August and September.
