Join us during Advent!
Every Sunday morning, we gather together to worship together in the Red Rock Community Center on Mars Hill Road. Our service begins at 11 a.m., and we always enjoy fellowship over coffee, hot tea, and more.
In addition to these worship gatherings, this Advent, we've put together several special opportunities for fellowship. At 6 p.m. each Sunday evening throughout Advent, we'd love to have you join us at our Pastor's home for our Sunday Supper Soup Socials. Also, we're having our regularly-scheduled monthly Men's Prayer Breakfast at 10 a.m. on Saturday, December 14, and more. (You can find the addresses and all pertinent information for these gatherings in the events we'll create on Facebook, or just reach out via email, private message, phonecall, or text message.)
We're also putting together several opportunites to serve those in need throughout this Season, and we'll be sharing these opportunities in the coming days via emails, posts, and announcements.

We have a digital daily devotional to share with you during Advent. Throughout these HolyDays, we would love to send you a copy via email. If you'd like to subscribe to these daily devotionals, please simply let us know, and we'll sign you up. (Just reach out via email, private message, phonecall, or text message. Of course, you can always just let us know this Sunday.)
