This Week’s Message

  1. “Do you want to be counted wise, to build a reputation for wisdom? Here’s what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly. It’s the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts. Mean-spirited ambition isn’t wisdom. Boasting that you are wise isn’t wisdom. Twisting the truth to make yourselves sound wise isn’t wisdom. It’s the furthest thing from wisdom—it’s animal cunning, devilish conniving. Whenever you’re trying to look better than others or get the better of others, things fall apart and everyone ends up at the others’ throats.”  James 3:13-16  (MSG)

Exceptional Circumstances

** Our regular worship service is The Church Without Walls on Sundays at 10:30am in Candler Park, picnic Pavilion 2. Exceptions being when:

  • There is extreme weather, so we move indoors to the chapel of First Christian Church of Decatur.
  • We perform our homeless ministry, which begins at 9am with us assembling hygiene kits in the same location as the regular Church Without Walls service.
  • There is a festival in Candler Park.
  • Another party has reserved picnic Pavilion 2, so we generally relocate down the hill to picnic Pavilion 1.

In all of these circumstances except the last one, we post a special notice at the top of our homepage announcing the relocation of that Sunday’s worship service.
