September
27
ON CAMPUS & ONLINE | 9:00am & 10:30am
Join
us on Sunday as we continue the series…Keep the Change.
What if changing the way you think about money could change more than just your
bank account? Money can bring stress, create tension, and make financial
stability feel out of reach but it doesn’t have to control your life. In this
series, we’ll challenge some common beliefs about money, explore practical
wisdom from the Bible, and learn how intentional decisions can lead to greater
freedom, peace, and generosity. It’s time to rethink what we believe about
money and discover the kind of change worth keeping.
We are looking forward to seeing you online (WATCH HERE).
QUESTIONS? Drop us an email at info@mainstreetlife.org.
Help us fill our Mission
Wall with smiling faces!
Let’s make this wall a visual reminder of all the people who make up our
Mainstreet family. Whether you’re a household of one or a family of ten, we’d
love to have your photo on the wall.
Here’s how you can share your 4x6 photo with us:
- Drop it off at the Info Counter on Sunday mornings
- Bring it to the church office during the week (office hours – Monday –
Thursday 8:30am – 4:30pm)
- Submit it online HERE— we’ll print it for you (We’ll print
photos on Tuesday for the upcoming Sunday)
Quick note: Please don’t use original printed photos or photos you only have
one copy of, since we won’t be able to guarantee their return.
