Shannon Little Missions Moment
Find Your Grow Group – Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday are available!
Small groups, like Sunday School, are incredibly valuable in a church because they help us connect with each other and grow spiritually. In Acts 2:46-47, we see that early Christians would gather not only at the temple (church) but also in their homes, sharing meals and praising God together. This close-knit community helped them build strong relationships and grow in their faith. In the same way, our small groups provide a space for people to form meaningful connections and support each other’s spiritual journeys.
Small groups also create opportunities for encouragement. Hebrews 10:24-25 encourages believers to inspire each other to love and good deeds, and to keep meeting together. Small groups make it easier to do this by creating a setting where members can hold each other accountable and offer practical support. Proverbs 27:17 also highlights the importance of mutual growth, saying that “iron sharpens iron,” meaning that we improve and grow through our interactions with one another.
Join us this Sunday at 9:30 AM as we kick off our Adult Bible class and Children’s Sunday School. You won’t be sorry you did!

September Memory Verses
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
