September Sermon Series: I Call You Friend

​

In John 15:15, Jesus calls the disciples his friends. As we walk through life, we recognize the gift of friendships, some for a season and others for a lifetime. We are grateful for friends, especially the friends who strengthen our walk with God. In her book, "Holy Friendships: Nurturing Relationships That Sustain Pastors and Leaders" Victoria Atkinson White writes, "Holy friends mutually affirm, challenge, and encourage each other because they know their friendship is not just about them; it is about how God is working through them and loving God's creation." Join us in September, as we explore the gift of friends who help us see a glimpse of the holy.

Adult Sunday School Class

​

Alongside our friendship sermon series, Kathy Baker and Pastor April Cranford invite everyone to join us in the chapel on Sunday mornings from 9:30 - 10:25 a.m. for an adult class as we explore the gift of holy friendships. We will utilize resources such as Holy Friendships by Victoria Atkinson White, The Life Council by Laura Tremaine and others.  Also, each Sunday, we will hear from friends who will highlight their personal stories about friendship.
