Worship This Sabbath
September 12, 2026 | 11:15 AM
One Body with Many Members
Darrin Thurber | Lead Pastor
For the month of September, we’re heading back to the book of 1 Corinthians to discover even more wisdom and guidance for the church. This Sabbath, we turn to chapter 12 as we explore the diversity of spiritual gifts within the body of Christ.
12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
Drop Everything & Pray
daily at 9:00am & 4:00pm
Prayers & Squares
We invite you to join us in prayer for those who will receive quilts. Prayer quilts will be available at church if you would like to tie a knot and say a prayer.
