New Sermon Series this Month

This month, we will be starting a new Sermon series, "Time to Go." As we have emerged from the pandemic and its various effects and setbacks, and are now back on track with where God wants us to be, we follow where He leads, and where He wants us to go. Each week, the Lectionary readings will be telling us what God is calling us to do in this coming year, to bring Him to people and bring people to Him.

February 4 - "Time to Go: Go Preach the Gospel"

February 11 - "Time to Go: Listen, Go, and Tell"

February 18 - "Time to Go: Go and Conquer!"

February 25 - "Time to Go: Go, Grow, and Follow"
