We’re thrilled to let you know that our online Bible Study on Zoom will resume next Wednesday, September 11th, at 7:30 pm.

Participating in Bible Study is not just a chance to delve into Scripture but also an opportunity to grow together in faith and community. It’s a time to share insights, support one another, and deepen our understanding of God’s word. We believe that coming together in this way enriches our spiritual journey and strengthens the bonds within our community.

We look forward to seeing you there and embarking on this next chapter of learning and fellowship together!

We will be using the same Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88077160059

We are excited to announce that Sunday, September 15th is the first day of the 2024-25 Faith Builders Children's Church Program.

Please comment Children's Church to opt in to receive updates and the registration form for the program.

Our hope and prayer is that the Lord will use us to help your child to know God’s great love for us and His great faithfulness to keep His promises.

We realize that it is not only that we love God but that He loved us first! John 3:16 It is in response to that love, that we learn to put God first!

In fact, our theme for this 2024/2025 session of Children’s Church is: PUT GOD FIRST!

Each month, we will have a Scripture of the month for you and your child to learn. Please encourage your child and help them to memorize the scripture at home.

The “Scripture of the Month “ for September/October is:
In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success. (Proverbs 3:6, LIVING BIBLE)

We have asked that the Lord anoint us and equip us to use scriptures (Memory verses), bible stories, skits, games, songs, videos, and other activities to acquaint the children with ways to 'put God first!'

We are excited to see what the Lord will do!

🛠️ Happy Labor Day to our First Sterling families,🛠️

As we take a moment to celebrate Labor Day, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who work tirelessly to support our families, communities, and nation. Today, we honor the dedication, effort, and spirit of workers everywhere.

Labor Day is a time to rest and reflect on the fruits of our labor. Let's also take this opportunity to give thanks for the work that God has given us and to remember the importance of balance in our lives. Whether you're spending the day with family, enjoying some well-deserved rest, or engaging in community service, we hope you find joy and renewal.

Join us in prayer as we lift up all those who labor each day. May God grant them strength, wisdom, and peace.

Blessings to all, and may your Labor Day be filled with relaxation and gratitude!
