BRINGING SHALOM

One of the main messages that we would like to communicate at our weekend service is our need as a church to bring Shalom to the city. Maybe you're asking “What is Shalom?” The common translation for Shalom is the word "peace". However, it’s broader than that. Shalom refers to peace in all areas of one's life, so this entails physical, mental and of course spiritual.

Now, not only do we want to communicate the need to bring shalom to the city at our weekend service but our main hope is to experience shalom as a community at the service. A few ways we do this is by singing together, learning together and just being together.

If you broke it down to the bare minimum it might look like this:

• The teachings bring shalom because they give us direction for life.

• The music brings shalom because it heals and expresses our need for a savior.

• Community brings shalom because it reminds us that we are not alone.

Try our weekend services for a few weeks and see if you experience shalom for yourself.
