Fruit of the Spirit-
Week 2
Last week, we started our two-part series about the Fruit of the Spirit! We're going back for seconds on this tasty, Spiritual fruit salad. Those fruit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness/generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
This week, we'll consider the second part of that list - kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. We'll even have another camp song or two to enjoy along the way.
Our church will be cooled and ready for worship at 10am this Sunday. Join us!

Coffee & Sign Up
Coffee& is a special time after worship. Help us by preparing coffee and bringing a tasty treat to share.
