Focus
Are there things you’re afraid of? Have you ever took a chance and it didn’t work out? If you answered yes, this week’s message will be for you. Nate will be teaching about the important lesson Jesus taught to his followers who were afraid, distracted, and totally blew it. And those same followers were the ones who changed the world. He can do the same for you.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came towerd Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord save me!” – Matthew 14:29-30 (NIV)

Strengthen Your Relationship With Jesus
Connect In A Lifegroup
Lifegroups are a place to take a break from the busy demands of everyday life with a group of friends, a place to share, laugh, and serve together. Lifegroups are a place to grow in your relationship with Jesus, a place to learn the stories that Jesus taught and how they apply to your life today.
Make Prayer A Priority
Prayer is where it all starts. It can make a huge difference in your life.
Here are a few ways you can participate in prayer here at The Village:
- Pray with us every other Sunday at 7:30 am. We pray for our church, our community, and our country. This is open to everyone. No need to sign up, you can just show up and meet us in the lobby.
- Jump on our daily prayer calls at 7 am Monday – Friday! It’s easy – just call 641-715-0861 and enter 867402 or on Wednesday nights at 7 pm call 515-739-1423 and enter 605392. We pray for our church, our leaders, our community, our country, and whatever else is on your heart. You can pray out loud, or you can listen and pray silently. Everyone is welcome on these calls – you do not need to be an attendee of The Village.
- Visit the Prayer War Room, which you can use anytime during office hours (M-Th 8 am – 4 pm).
Heads Up: If you need immediate prayer for an urgent request, text or call Lilye at 779-875-5591.
Pulse for Students
Our main focus is God, but we also have lots of fun! Students dive into scripture and talk about topics such as discovering who God designed them to be, and issues they’re facing every day, such as lying or gossip.
Pulse Jr. (5th – 8th grade) meets Sunday mornings at 11 am.
Pulse Sr. (high school) is on break for summer. Next session will begin in September
