Worship
We will jump into our series on Hebrews 11 on Sunday, seeing what God teaches us about living by faith through the examples of Abel, Enoch, and Noah. Our worship will focus on giving our hearts and lives to God. Join us at 9:30.
Our special offering for April is for World Renew (formerly CRWRC, our denomination’s relief agency). The deacons will be resuming taking the offering during worship.
