Why do you think it is important to participate in church events? As Paul shares his struggle for the church, he imparts some wisdom for us as we think about how we are being strengthened in our faith.... Be sure to read Colossians 2 before we gather this weekend for a time of encouragement. We will seek to gain insight into how we can train in gratitude for the opportunities God has given us to gather, gain, give, and grow in our community. Be sure to invite someone who God has placed on your heart - there is someone God wants you to bring!
