"For Jesus, the kingdom of God means abolishing the kingdom of Satan. In this light the actions of Jesus can be seen as deliberate acts of mission to free people from the powers of darkness. Jesus aimed at nothing less than invading the present dark age to establish the enduring reign of God's peace ." Steven Hawthorne

Parking Update!
 With the parking lot improvements, we have discontinued the parking shuttle except for holidays or large events.
Entering traffic - come up the driveway, turn right toward the building, and turn into one of the parking lots. Exiting traffic - drive to the back of the parking lot, turn left onto the loop road, and head to the bottom of the hill. On Sunday mornings all exiting traffic should make a right turn only onto Patterson Ave. Thank you for your cooperation! |
