Ripe: Life by the Spirit
Jesus makes it clear that a life of faith will bear good fruit. Paul outlines some of the key fruits our lives should bear when we live by the Spirit. If we do this our lives should bless others and be a pleasing aroma to God!

Parents, please come to the children’s area immediately following the worship service and find all of your children in one place. Each family will receive a “My Church Bag” to be brought each week with basic supplies already included plus items from home: water bottle and mask for each child and a blanket for all siblings. Our team is so excited to see your family! See you Sunday!
