January 18, 2026 - Hope Sunday with Amirah
This Sunday, we will welcome James Hunt, the Assistant Director of Development, Faith & Justice Initiatives of Amirah, Inc, who will bring us the message during our Amirah Hope Sunday. Hope Sunday is a chance to engage our church with gospel-fueled hope. Expect to hear a message that will not only inform you of God's heart for those who are suffering but will inspire confidence that God is on the move and active to redeem.
Amirah exists to provide aftercare, resources, and opportunities to adult women who have experienced different forms of sexual exploitation, sex trafficking, and prostitution. They do this by offering residential opportunities, wrap-around services, and external education, all with the goal of helping women leave poverty, addiction, and exploitation behind.
We hope you'll be able to join us for worship on Sunday at 10am as we continue into this new year together. As usual, we'll have "Activity Packs" available in the foyer for anyone who is interested in borrowing them during the service. We hope we'll see you Sunday!
And remember, church is not just an event on Sunday mornings--it's God's people, his family, living for His glory in all we do! Keep reading below to find out more about additional opportunities in the life of the church and how you can get involved or connect with others as we seek to grow closer to Jesus together in this new year.
GIVING
Giving is an act of worship that acknowledges that God is the giver of all we have, and that we are stewards of His resources. We offer our tithes as a concrete act of entrusting all of our lives to Jesus. There are three ways you can give:
IN
PERSON
If you’re joining us in person on a Sunday morning, you can give your gift in the plates up front when it’s time to bring them forward during the worship service.
ONLINE
You can use our online giving platform by clicking the button below to make a one-time gift or to set up a recurring gift. There is a small fee for making an online transaction.
YOUR
BANK
You can contact your bank and set up an automatic bill pay, which is free in most cases. Many use this option for their regular monthly tithe.
Regardless of you how give, we see giving as one way we can reflect the heart and character of our God, who “so loved the world that He gave…” everything for us (John 3:16).
PRAYER
Submit a Prayer Request: Share with one another the needs, challenges, and joys that you, your family, your neighbors, and your workplaces are going through during this time. Prayer requests can be shared with the prayer team and leadership team.
Spend Some Time in Prayer: This morning, we invite you to pray for the needs you’re aware of in our community and beyond, and we also invite you pray over what was shared or discovered as you participate in worship with us.
