We would love to have you.

We are looking for a few people willing to help with 1st–5th grade on Wednesday nights. This would not be an every-week commitment—just having a few people available when needed would make a huge difference.

If you have a heart for children or feel God may be leading you to serve in this way, please get with Jonathan or Saskia.

Investing in the next generation is one of the most meaningful ways we can serve. A need like this is often an opportunity for God to invite us to step in and make a difference.

Reminder: We will not be having our Sunday School quarterly meeting this month.

Don’t miss Brother David’s Mid-Week Devotions.
New messages are posted every Wednesday on our media page—take a midweek moment to be encouraged and refreshed in God’s Word.

There’s something about tax season that brings out a very special talent in all of us, the ability to turn the house upside down looking for one tiny receipt or form we put somewhere safe so we would have it.

Suddenly, drawers are opened, cars are cleaned for the first time since Christmas, and the stack of papers on your desk becomes an archaeological dig site. We find things we forgot we had, and then put them somewhere we will not forget, but still don’t find the thing we actually need.

And somewhere in the middle of all the paperwork, numbers, and maybe a little frustration, it’s easy to forget that even this season can point us to something deeper.
The Bible teaches us that “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” (Colossians 3:23–24, ESV)

Faithfulness isn’t just about the big, spiritual moments. Faithfulness is also about how we handle the everyday responsibilities before us. Even something as ordinary as filing taxes can be an opportunity to practice integrity, honesty, and responsibility. It’s a reminder that what we have has been entrusted to us by God, and we are called to handle it well.

Now, that doesn’t mean you have to enjoy tax season. But it does mean we can approach it with the right perspective. Instead of stress and frustration taking over, we can choose to be honest in what we report, be responsible with what we’ve been given, and trust God with the outcome.

At the end of the day, tax season will come and go. But our calling to be faithful in all things remains.
