Welcome

<b>Welcome to our Services!</b><br><br>Please join us for Vacation Bible School starting tonight through Thursday evening. We have classes for all ages. Pre-K through Adult are all welcome.<br>There will be a teen class this year for Jr High and high school students. <br>As always, we will offer a class for the adults that will meet in the youth building each night for their class.<br>VBS is a good outreach for our church to reach our community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was through a VBS that my family got back in church in my teen years, and it helped revitalize a small struggling country church. I still believe in VBS and the impact that it has in the lives of those who attend and the church that is willing to work to make it a great week.<br><br><br>

From the Pastor

The book of Hosea is a phenomenal book of love. It is not a romance, but a love story showing the depths of love that God has for His people.<br> <br>The Book of Hosea assures us of God’s unconditional love for His people. But it is also a picture of how God is dishonored and angered by the actions of His children. How can a child who is given an abundance of love, mercy, and grace treat a Father with so much disrespect? Yet, we have done just that for centuries. As we consider how the Israelites turned their backs on God, we need to look no further than the mirror in front of us to see a reflection of those same Israelites.<br> <br>Only by remembering how much God has done for each of us will we be able to avoid rejecting the One who can give us eternal life in glory instead of the hell we deserve. It is essential that we learn to respect our Creator. Hosea has shown us God’s heart of loving commitment. When we do sin, if we have a sorrowful heart filled with repentance, then God will bring us back to Himself and show His never-ending love to us.<br> <br><br>
