Let's Ride!!...
September 14th is the 2nd Sunday of the month. If you are new to Open Road Fellowship, that's when we jump on our bikes and head out as a group right after church for a nice ride. It's an opportunity for us to grab some good food and enjoy some fellowship as we take some time to get to know one another. The direction we head is always an adventure but geared to provide a relaxing time out on the bikes. Invite your friends; maybe a nice ride might be what motivates them to come to church. Hey, and if you don't ride, don't let that stop you from enjoying the day...just hop in your car and follow along.
North, south, east, or west... no matter where we head, you are sure to enjoy the ride. So, come join us for our next 2nd Sunday ride!
This four-week, Family Values, series looks at biblical principles that build a strong family and a loving, Christ-centered home. Family life is filled with joyous wins and troubling struggles. Finding stability, safety, and community in Christ allows us to persevere through whatever comes with an enduring hope for ourselves and our familes.
The ability to conform outwardly to religious culture does not equate to a changed heart. Our confidence must come only from the Spirit's indwelling in us and our righteousness through Christ. No one is perfect, but we press on in the journey because of Christ. A Christ-centered family is more concerned with its members' hearst than with pretending to be perfect or ruling with an iron fist.

The reality of living in a relationship with others in any sort of family dynamic requires a foundation that withstands the ever-changing nature of loving and being loved by other humans. A healthy, Christ-centered home begins with a healthy, Christ-centered human. Whether you are the parent, child, aunt, uncle, sibling, grandparent, or honorary friend who is like family, you must be grounded in the Lord before trying to influence others to do likewise. Christ is the foundation for building our house of faith that can weather any storm.
It's the 1st Sunday of the month... it's time for our Food & Clothing Drive. We can't feed everybody, we're not a homeless shelter, we're not even a food pantry... but we can partner with other ministries to help them accomplish their tasks in what God has called them to do.
This Sunday, bring in a bag of non-perishable food items. We are making a difference in people's lives that are down and out. It may be you one day needing just a little bit of help. Also, go through your closets and look for those clothes that don't fit anymore or you haven't worn in awhile. Bring them in for those who just need a little help.

If you haven’t noticed, August has five Sundays this year—and you know what that means… it’s POTLUCK time! This is more than just sharing a meal—it’s a chance to share laughter, stories, and the joy of being together as one church family. It’s going to be a busy and exciting weekend, so our amazing Cook Team is firing up the BBQ to serve up tender, mouthwatering sandwiches. All we need is for you to bring the magic that only you can provide—your favorite side dish (cold dishes encouraged, since August likes to crank up the heat!) or a sweet treat to bless the table.
And speaking of sweet treats, Raymond has put out a request for a friendly challenge… banana pudding! Not calling it a competition exactly, but let’s see whose creamy creation makes everyone say, “Now that’s the winner!”
Have You Recently Accepted Christ?
First—CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve just made the greatest decision of your life, and all of heaven is rejoicing with you! But you might be wondering… what now? There’s a lot you can do to grow in your new faith, but here are two essential first steps:
Get a Bible and start reading it.
Not just to check it off a list, but to let God speak to you through His Word. As you read, you’ll build a deeper, ever-growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Get Baptized.
Yes—baptism matters. Why? The simplest answer is… Jesus did it. He was obedient to be baptized, and so should we. Baptism is a public declaration that you belong to Him.
Here’s your chance:
If you’re a believer in Jesus and ready to show the world, join us for Baptism at the 3 State Harley-Davidson Labor Day Party! How cool will it be to get baptized at a motorcycle rally? We’ll have a special “Dunk” shirt waiting for you. Sign up today and take this powerful next step in your walk with Christ!
Labor Day at 3 State HD — Worship • Food • Fun • Baptism Celebration
Get ready for a celebration like no other! We’re kicking off September Serve Day a little early — and we’re doing it BIG. The Worship Team will fill the air with powerful music, the Cook Team will serve up mouthwatering favorites, and New Heaven Sno will keep you cool with frosty treats. Plus, bounce houses, games, and laughter for all ages!
And that’s not all… Don’t forget — we’ll also be having our Baptism Celebration during the party! What better way to celebrate than seeing lives publicly declaring their faith in Jesus? You can sign up here
This isn’t just a party — it’s an all-hands-on-deck Serve Day where we come together as a church family to serve, celebrate, and shine the light of Jesus in our community. Mark your calendars, invite your friends, and let’s make this a day to remember!

This four-week series, Turning Points, explores the pivotal times of change in the lives of four people in the Bible. We will observe God's invitation in each of these moments to change and grow in a deeper relationship with Him. We are challenged to trust God even when we don't see an answer. In fact, trusting only when we see the answer doesn't require much faith at all. God wants us to exercise our faith muscle, even when it isn't easy.
When we are stretched—asked to do bigger things with more responsibility—we must rely on God to lead us through it. These turning points can easily distract us from depending on God. We might be tempted to think we arrived at this place because of our own abilities. However, because we are believers and we know God orders our steps, we must remember that he is the reason we are in the places we are and he will provide what we need to do the tasks he has asked us to do.
