UPDATES

Two little words forever changed the course of history: “Follow Me.” When Jesus called His first disciples, He set off a chain-reaction that would end up sending out His church to the furthest reaches of the globe. But the call of Jesus isn’t just confined to the first century. He gives the same call today and beckons each one of us to follow Him. In our series through the Gospel of Matthew, we will learn what it means to follow Jesus. We will see the character and call of a disciple. We will learn how to navigate even the most complex situations in a way that honors God. And, most importantly, we will follow Jesus, walking in the way of our Lord and Savior.

The bulletin for September 13th can be found here.​​​

Due to the expected rainy weather on Resolved Sunday, September 13th, we have postponed the tailgate to October 4th from 12:00 - 2:00 pm. Hot dogs will be provided.  Bring your own favorites to share or to grill.  There will be lots of games, music, and a great time of fun and fellowship. Plan to join us!  If you would like to help, please contact Maria Merse:  Maria@lincroftbiblechurch.org.
