✏️ Back-to-school season is in full swing, but don't let the hustle and bustle interrupt your precious moments with God. 🙏✨
Whether it's a few minutes in the morning or a quiet time before bed, setting aside time daily for personal devotion can make all the difference. Let's prioritize our spiritual growth alongside academic success.
Make a commitment today to nourish your soul as you get back into a busier routine. 📖💖

Monday Discussion:

This Sunday, Pastor Vance discussed the importance of spending time with God. Sometimes we get so focused on doing FOR God that we forget to spend time WITH God.
Pastor Vance referenced Luke 10:38-42 as an example of this. Please join us in reading this story of Martha and Mary, then answer the following discussion question in the comment section:
How do you think Martha felt when Jesus said Mary had chosen the better option?

Bonus question: How can you practice stillness and focus on Jesus amidst the distractions and busyness of life?

Join us for Summer Break!!!
