SUNDAY, MARCH 7 at 10:30 a.m.

Sunday March 7 at 10:30 a.m. Clint Bryan will be continuing his series entitled "An Unexpected Twist. A terminal diagnosis is pronounced. A child runs away. A marriage collapses. A job of 30 years ends. Surprise. Sometimes these come in positive forms, too. The stork plans to make a stop at your doorstep. The college letter reads, "Congratulations!" She says "yes" to your proposal. This five-week sermon series from Acts will prepare us for the times (daily!) that God does not act in the ways we predict He should. As the Author of life, often He writes into our stories "An Unexpected Twist!" The title of this week's sermon is "You've Got a Friend in Me", the topic is Barnabas seeks out Saul, and the text is Acts 11:19-26.

.This is Family Sunday, so all school-aged children (kindergarten through 5th grade) are invited to sit with their parents in the sanctuary. The nursery will also be open for parents to take their babies if they are fussy or need to be changed.
