Unfailing: God’s Assurance for Times of Change By Christopher M. Kennedy
“Change is difficult to understand and even harder to navigate. As the world seems to spin faster every day, how can you adjust and adapt to a society that seems to pull further from God with each passing day? Adapting to the change and moving forward is stressful and confusing. Find peace and clarity in Samuel's story, seeing how he followed God's guidance through all the seemingly unclear changes. He followed God's plans for his life and found the beauty of putting everything in His hands. Study the prophet Samuel and the tumultuous changes he endured to see how you can trust God to guide you through change. Through personal reflections, devotional questions, room for notes, and a guide for small groups, you can tackle the uncomfortable reality of change. Take hope in the promise that His Son has conquered all for you and that His plan is always going exactly to Hi s specifications. When you look at Jesus and God's Word, you will find everything you need to help you through loss and transition.” (excerpt ©CPH 2024)

When we begin to meet again, you are invited to drop in any Sunday and pray silently or from a prayer guide. God is powerful and mighty. He asks that we come to Him with our requests. FYI all who worship and all who serve in worship service are prayed for as well. - Pre-service Prayer Group
