Sunday, February 26, we will start a new series called “LIVE FAST”.  We are doing this series because in our world, everyone likes to LIVE FAST… make money fast, get things done now, and have your dreams fulfilled ASAP.  But the word fast has another meaning as well.  A fast is when you stop doing something for a certain period of time.  During the season of Lent, we will learn how to LIVE FAST. We aren’t talking about how to get a faster iPhone, or speed up our career path.  Instead, LIVE FAST is about how to use a Lenten fast to help us live more like God created us to live.

Save the Date! - We’re excited to again be cheering on the runners at the Kalamazoo Marathon!! This year’s Marathon is Sunday, May 6! We will NOT gather for Worship at the Threads building, but will instead, spread the love to our community at our rockin’ Excitement Zone. Stay tuned for all the fun details!

Join other couples for food, fun and relaxation while getting equipped with practical tools for strengthening your marriage! This year’s Re:NEW Marriage Retreat is titled “Pathways to Deeper Intimacy.” Fun and creative opportunities will be provided for discussion and interaction around the topics of communication and emotional/spiritual intimacy.
