Events & Announcements

A living God knows right where you are day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. He sees our every need, hears our every cry, and longs to hold us close to Him. He is present to walk with us through the deepest and darkest valleys of life. He provides a song at night and wakes us with His new mercies each day. He takes our feet from the muck and mire and grounds them on a rock. He blesses us with hope and gives joy for Life’s journey.  The Redeemer lives! So rejoice and live with the hope and joy that Easter brings. Walk with Christ. Talk with Him, and allow His joy to penetrate your heart and fill your soul.

CHALLENGES FROM Chapel

This past Wednesday we were so blessed to have our great friends Riley Overstreet and Kevin Cormier join our high school worship team and lead us in two songs of praise to our God! In addition to serving on the TCS facilities team, Riley and Kevin lead worship by singing and playing drums. We were so blessed by their talents and their infectious presence and enthusiasm. A special thanks to Riley for leading us in such a powerful prayer after the worship set. Jason Moore, the Executive Pastor at Trinity Church and co-leader of our chapel worship team along with his wife Stacie, shared a powerful and challenging message with us about the story of Leah from the book of Genesis. Jason described how Leah was overshadowed, diminished, unwanted, and sidelined by the people in her life, but God saw her, He heard her, He was near to her, and He blessed her with a legacy of children for her faithfulness to Him. In the same way that God was with Leah, He is with each of us as well. The devil is a liar who trades the truths of God for a lie. We must know who we are in Christ, we must acknowledge Him in all things, and we must be faithful. Just as God blessed Leah, He will bless us for our obedience and faithfulness to Him. Thank you Pastor Jason for the powerful challenge. We look forward to being back together in chapel after Spring Break!
