Sunday Nov. 1st guest speaker
Have you been curious about foster care & what that could look like for you? We are excited to host Michael Washington this Sunday, Nov. 1st! His message is entitled The Assignment is Bigger than Me and the passages he's using are Exodus 3:1-12, James 1:27, Eph. 2:10, and 1 Co. 12:4-7.
Michael Washington brings more than 15 years of pastoral experience, along with a background in chaplaincy and nonprofit family preservation, to his work at Josiah White's Foster Care Agency. Throughout his career, he has been passionate about serving others, strengthening families, and helping youth and families overcome challenges and build brighter futures. His heart for ministry and community impact is rooted in a desire to see people experience hope, restoration, and the purpose God has for their lives.

Upcoming sermon series
Long ago, the prophet Micah spoke to God’s people at a time when families were losing their homes and children were losing their future. His message still speaks today. Micah reminds us that God sees the overlooked, the outcast, and the vulnerable; he hates injustice, and he calls his people to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with him.
And woven through all of it is the gospel: a God who gathers the outcast, sends a Shepherd-King from Bethlehem, and delights to show mercy to people who don’t deserve it, people like us.
Join us for this three-week series during National Adoption Awareness Month as we explore God’s heart for the vulnerable, and how His love for us shapes the way we love others.
