The huddles in front of us as we all learn what “normal” will look like as we emerge the pandemic can feel overwhelming. When we focus too closely on what is right in front of us we can forget the help, perspective, purpose, hope, and power that surrounds us. Join us this season as we lift our eyes and see Jesus alive and showing us the way to life.
In Person Worship Services 9:00 & 11:00am
Both services will be live streamed on Facebook
