Bible Study (all ages): Saturdays at 9:30 AM · Worship Service: Saturdays at 11:00 AM Whether you've been with us for thirty years or you're reading this before your first visit, everything below is open to you. Worship is Saturdays at 11:00 a.m., Bible study at 9:30 a.m., and you don't need to be a member to walk through any of these doors. ⛪This Sabbath: Leaving a Legacy Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:3–7 (ESV) Speaker: Pastor David Bracetti Series: Kingdom Culture, Week 7 Near the end of his life, Paul wrote a letter to Timothy, a young leader he'd mentored for years. Before any instruction, he remembered where Timothy's faith came from: his grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice. Then he urged Timothy to fan into flame the gift God had placed in him. This week, Pastor David looks at what it means to leave a legacy of faith, and why it starts long before the end. Kingdom Culture is a ten-week series on becoming the church God intended, where every member owns the mission and lives out the values of God's Kingdom in everyday life. First time visiting? You're welcome here. Come as you are. 🌟"What If . . . ?" — A Spiritual Gifts Seminar Fan into flame. What's yours?

In Isaiah 58, God describes the kind of devotion He's looking for: sharing bread with the hungry and opening your home to the poor. In the same chapter, He calls the Sabbath a delight. Jesus said it plainly in Matthew 12:12: "It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." Feeding our neighbors isn't a break from Sabbath rest. It's Sabbath doing what it was made for.
