Guest Speaker Coming to Life Recovery!
Katie will be speaking for us on Thursday September 17th.
Katie Goodwin spent most of her young life bound up in depression, brokenness and drug addiction. While sitting in a jail cell in 2018, she had an encounter with the living God and surrendered her life to Jesus Christ. After she was released from jail, she went to the Butterfly Transformation House where God began a work in her life. In just a few short months, the Lord set her free, restored her family, and even added to it! She and her husband are now youth pastors at Grace Tabernacle in Laconia, and are passionate about declaring "If God can do it for us, He can do it for ANYONE!"
National Back to Church Sunday is coming up!
The annual National Back to Church Sunday takes place Sunday, September 20. How many people do you know that have not returned back to church after being out when they were closed down in 2020?

We have printed invitation cards that we are giving you during the services to use as a tool to invite them. We hope to see many people there!
