SUNDAYS IN AUGUST: SUMMER PSALMS
We will continue our summer series for the first two weeks of August. We have been diving into the book of Psalms. The book of Psalms are songs, poems and writings with deep & honest reflections. You can follow along with the passages today and find more resources in the Bible App under the Event section. Check out the Event from week 2 here.

We have been on the lawn, but now we are back inside at 9:30 am and 11:00 am. For the month of August, we will have Journey Kids classes at the 9:30 am gathering only.

CHURCH AT THE BEACH: AUGUST 21
CHURCH AT THE PARK: SEPTEMBER 4
We will have two special Sundays coming up that are combined services with both of our sites. On August 21, we will have church at the beach at Marantha which will include a baptism service. On September 4, we will have Church in the Park at Hackley Park in downtown Muskegon. Both services will be family gatherings at 10:30 am and you will need to bring a chair.

The Growth Pathway is a series of next steps to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus. It's not a list of tasks to complete, instead, it's a guide to give some direction to continue to move forward in your faith. Find the guide here.
