** Upcoming Events:

**Action Steps For Surrendering to God and Follow Jesus

Step 1: Stop Relying On Your Own Understanding: Proverbs 3: 5-6 - “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
​
Step 2: Release Your Anxieties in Prayer: Philippians 4: 6-7 - Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

Step 3: Offer Your Daily Life as a Sacrifice - Romans 12:1 - “And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.”
