This Sunday, we started our journey through the Gospel of John in our Lenten series, Jesus Asks. We looked at Jesus' — "What are you looking for?"
Rather than following Jesus from a distance, we are invited to "come and see" — to abide with Him and experience the abundant life He offers to us.

Sermon Notes
Check out some of the key takeaways from this past Sunday's sermon.
This week's scripture was John 1:35-42
This week's scripture was John 1:35-42
- Questions are relational superpowers - Jesus asked over 300 questions in the Gospels because questions invite us into relationship. This Lenten season is an opportunity to stretch ourselves spiritually by honestly wrestling with the questions Jesus asks us.
- "What do you want?" requires honest self-reflection - Many of us haven't taken time to truly consider what we want from life, from our relationships, or from Jesus. Moving beyond "whatever" to genuine clarity about our desires helps us recognize that we're all seeking something more than just getting through each day.
- Jesus invites us to "come and see" - The answer to our deepest longings is found in abiding with Jesus—staying close to Him, learning from Him, and living in relationship with Him. He offers abundant, overflowing life, and the path to experiencing it is drawing near rather than following from a distance.
The Stars & Sparkles Dance
This special night is open to girls ages 2–18 and the men who lovingly support them—fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or other God-placed role models. Come share a beautiful evening of dancing and memories.
There will be light desserts and drinks at the dance. The men attending the dance are encouraged to take this opportunity to spend some intentional time with the girl(s) they are bringing, and take them out to dinner prior to attending the dance.
We love moms and grandmothers but please remember that this is a special night for girls and the men in their lives. Take lots of pictures before your Young Lady leaves, then know that we will do our best to document the night well so that you will have a snapshot of the evening. So that the girls may fully engage and focus on the reason for the evening, we are asking that moms and grandmothers refrain from coming.
