Wednesday, April 6, 7 PM on the Dock
First Wednesday is a worship and communion service on the Dock. Held each month, First Wednesday is a way to connect with God through deeper, more expressive worship and through prayer and communion with families, small groups or alone. If you've never been, come and check it out!
The music is awesome, the vibe is casual, and the pace allows for a unique time of connection to Jesus and each other.

life's healing choices mens and womens groups launching
Wednesday nights, April 6-June 22, 6:30 PM at Heartland

If you answered yes to any of those questions, or if you feel like you need to readjust your life’s compass, then Life’s Healing choices is for you.
Life’s Healing Choices is NOT just for people dealing with bad habits, unhealthy choices, or those whose lives are out of control. Life’s Healing Choices is for Everyone.
