Hello Mount Paran North Family,
This past Sunday in our 20/20 series, we looked at our "Potential." Whether we feel too stalled-out, or too inadequate, or too much like a failure, or too old, or too young, or too whatever to be effectively used by Christ, there's nothing He can't overcome in us to lead us to reach our full good works potential as His church. If you missed it, click here.
This Sunday, we'll be concluding our "20/20" series looking at "Peace" from Ephesians 2:11-22. We'll be talking about our relationships, why they lack peace, and how to find it.
Join us Sunday and bring someone with you who needs peace in their relationships.
Our new spring classes just got started, so be sure to join us tonight at 7:00pm. Click here to check out what's being offered.
I'll see you tonight at 7:00pm and on Sunday at 9:00am and 10:30am. God bless you, 
|
