You Belong: An Orientation to God’s Family at Cedar Hills

We make deeper connections with God and each other when we belong. In “You Belong” you will also discover how God heals brokenness and restores all he created through a community of people who love one another. Together we will grow hospitality, authenticity, forgiveness, and restoration that transforms us and our neighbors!

You Belong is a six week class that meets on Sundays at 9:45am beginning March 30. (We will not meet on Easter Sunday).  Anyone is welcome to attend even if they do not wish to become members.

At the end of the class, students can choose to pursue membership.  Following the class, you will meet with an elder to affirm your faith in Jesus, and then we publicly receive into a membership at a worship service (date TBD).

ANGEL TREE UPDATE: Cedar Hills had the opportunity to bless 25 area kids,  who have incarcerated parents, with Christmas gifts. Caregivers commented,  “I’ve never felt love like this before. I’ve never felt like I belong as much as I do when I walk through these doors.” This week, we received a letter from an incarcerated parent saying thank you!  Thank you for sharing Jesus’ love, Church!

The Holidays are over and the winter blues have set in. We are dreaming of a mini vacation, some me-time with the ladies of Cedar Hills in a cozy place with TWO hot tubs, media room, and lots of places to read, reflect and Feast on the word of God.

Sound good to you?? If so, join the women’s ministry for the Feast Retreat!
