Celebration Midweek - Jan. 18

People always think the pastor needs to read something and sometimes they are right.  Other times not so much.  My wife sent me a link to some articles about how husbands and wives can do harm to their spouse even when they don't know it.  So, let me pass these great articles along to you.  May they be as helpful to you as they have been to me.

2. SUNDAY - “The Land Between.”   Our lives are quite similar to God’s people when they left Egypt for a promised home of paradise.  Life changes has led us away from our comfort zone, what we knew as "home."  Now we are in the middle between what we knew and a new destination, a new "home."  Invite a friend to join us as we hear what God has to say about our present reality in the Land Between!  Sunday: "Focus" (Exodus 33:12-17)
