This Week’s Message

  1. So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover’s life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God.
    Philippians 1:9-11

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.
