Dear Friends,
I am in shock that the story of our first church service made the front page. We had a great first service, and there is a lot of excitement as we look forward to what God has planned for us, especially our next service on April 22, 2018. It has been an amazing journey so far, and it is just getting started!

Sermon Notes
Sermon: The Simple Gospel by Rev. Jessica Johnson
Date: April 1, 2018 Easter Sunday
Scripture Passages:
The Essential Gospel:
God’s kingdom is at hand. Jesus is the Christ, the long-awaited Messiah. Jesus is the Son of God who came to this earth in pursuit of us, and He is fully God and fully man. Even though He was sinless, Jesus died for our sins so that we could be restored to God. Jesus defeated death and rose from the dead. He appeared to others and gave final instructions in the Great Commission. Jesus calls us to repent, believe, and FOLLOW HIM. By following Jesus, we are transformed by the Holy Spirit. Following Jesus is not the end; it is merely the beginning of a life with God.
Future Suggested Study:
Book Suggestions:
Until next we meet,
Pastor Jessi
