A couple of weeks ago, our church gathered together to grow as “Thoughtful Witnesses”, one of the six marks we are committed to cultivating in the lives of every member of our family. This article is a recap of what we covered.

How we can best live out our mission "to raise up wholehearted followers of Jesus?” As a step towards answering that question, we have developed what we're calling the six MARKS of a wholehearted follower of Jesus.

We’re so excited that Pastor Reece and his family are here in Washington and are getting settled in. It takes time to get to know new people but to give you a head start, we played a game of question and answer with Reece that we’re sharing with you here.

“This past June the Robinson family had an unexpected surprise in the form of a serious illness that put an end to most of these plans. In what felt like the blink of an eye, I went from normal life to sitting in the ER with my wife waiting for test results, triage, and reeling from how things had developed. It was a shock that will take my family and I time to process.”

On Saturday, March 11th our women’s discipleship ministry held a one-day event focused on spiritual discipline. The theme of the event was found in Psalm 63, “God, you are my God; I eagerly seek you. I thirst for you; my body faints for you in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.” 

Last weekend our student ministry partnered with two other churches for an awesome winter retreat. It was a snowy adventure. Everyone made it safely to the chalet on Friday night for a late dinner and getting settled in. The food was good, and the scenery was beautiful.
