Inviting God Devotional
If we are going to make the shift from how we are living out our faith to who God says we are—and how we are called to embrace the Great Commission—we need some help along the way. The Inviting God Devotional is a 5-day weekly journey into Scripture designed to renew your mind, deepen your understanding, and give practical steps to live out your faith. Use it personally, with your family, or in your Life Group to walk together in God’s purpose. Click Here
Elgin Small Mall
Gift Drop off Through Nov 23
We’re partnering with Elgin’s Small Mall—an event where kids get to shop for gifts for their families. It’s a great way for them to learn that it’s better to give than to receive! We’re collecting gifts for all ages (from newborns to adults). Donations can be new, homemade, or “like new” items (No clothes, plants or food). Drop off your items to the church through Nov 23.
