Topic: Worship – It’s What We Were Created For
Worship is so much more than singing songs or attending a Sunday morning service. It is a life lived for the glory of God. We were created to know Him, love Him, and worship Him.

Book Club – Dust to Dust
Every Wednesday Starting September 23rd
6:30 PM
*Please read the first chapter in the book before the first meeting on September 23rd
Leader: Pat McNamara
What does it mean when Scripture exhorts ALL of us to “number our days”; how does doing so help us gain wisdom (Psalm 90) throughout all stages of life?
“In Dust to Dust, Jen Wilkin draws poetic parallels between the first half of life and the second. Exploring the changing realities of caregiving, abilities, and potentiality, she helps us to trace God’s give-and-take design at every stage. Wilkin offers practical insights on body image, honoring the elderly, the essential value of family, and more. She urges us to trade an anti-aging mindset for the pursuit of biblical wisdom, encouraging believers to lean into—not fight—their place in the true story of the arc of life.”
Anyone attending this study will need to purchase a copy of the book for themselves.
