Pastor Julie

I’m passionate about the church – building believers up in their faith, to be all God intended them to be; and I’m passionate about sharing the love and hope of Jesus with people who don’t know Him yet.

Jesus grew in wisdom; and so can we; Luke 2:39-52 Do you know how the 12yo boy Jesus grew in wisdom? After His parents went up to Jerusalem for the Passover Feast Jesus went to the Temple.

Every year I plan to buy gifts in advance and every year I fail. Know the feeling? But let’s talk about the real meaning of Christmas. Today is week one of “Advent.” As Baptists we don’t really celebrate “Advent” to the letter, as say Catholic … [Read more...] about Pastor’s Pen Nov 27
