How can we hear God’s voice and get clear direction for our lives when we can barely hear Him over the loud and distracting noise of the world shouting at us through the day? The LORD teaches us to tune our ears to receive His wise words in the Proverbs. God’s wisdom doesn’t compete with the noise of the world – it cuts through it! Join us for a four-week worship series as we look at the Old Testament wisdom book of Proverbs and tune and hearts and ears to hear God speak.
This Sunday (August 3), we will read Proverbs 1:1-7 and Proverbs 22:6. God’s Word is meant to influence us with deep, transforming truth in order to enrich our relationship with the LORD. The noise of the world distracts while the wisdom of God gives clarity and direction.
Join us for worship and communion at the LORD’s table.
With God’s blessings,
<>< Pastor Jennifer

Looking for a safe, hands-on, small classroom experience for your child?
Jill and John found exactly that—and more—at Northminster Learning Center! Their children began in the Curiosity Corner and seamlessly grew into the Kindergarten program. Both thrived in our nurturing, engaging environment and transitioned exceptionally well as they continued into first grade. "The small classroom size at Northminster gave them the extra edge they needed to go forward into their future education in grade school and middle school." Learn more by clicking the link below.
