Current Series | October 6 - November 24

We wrap up our Bible-reading from Joshua through Kings with this series  The books of Samuel and Kings hold compelling stories with fascinating characters. Sometimes seem too good to be true. We view those who followed God – Samuel and David – as nearly super-human in their life and faith. Those who failed – Saul, Ahab, etc. we treat as unredeemable villains. What if, instead, we saw ourselves in their stories? What if, instead, we recognized the choices God gives us every day to serve him and be part of his story, or to rebel and go our own way? What if we realized that every time we put our trust in mere humans, instead of in God, we are disappointed.

We have a few ways you can connect with the community throughout the week. Check us out at our online Facebook Campus or YouVersion.

Kid’s City - Kid Builders

Serve Opportunity | Sundays

Think back to your childhood. Who was that one person who was not part of your family who had an influence on you? Was it a school teacher? Was it someone from church? How are you living out what they did for you? Serving in Kids City is a perfect way to be an influence. We have plenty of opportunities for you to invest in the spiritual lives of our kids once a month (or more if you would like). For more information email our Children’s Minister, Greta at greta@seekstudyserve.org

Blessing Bucket Request

Have you seen the bright orange buckets in the foyer? They are our Blessing Buckets. If you know of someone who could use a little help, maybe a gas or grocery card, or even help with something like putting a lock on their front door, we can try to help! Fill out a Blessing Bucket request and a deacon will connect with you to get more details. Another way to be generous is to drop a couple of dollars in the Blessing Buckets to help fund these needs.
