Share God's Love - Live God's Word - Grow God's Kingdom
Todd Jordan
Dear ,

"A Journey with Jonah" continues this Sunday with part 2, "A Fish Tale that's Hard to Swallow" (Jonah 2). My Methodism Class begins this Sunday in my office. Come learn more about why we Methodists do what we do. This class is great for guests and newer members. Also, Souper Bowl of Caring kicks off this Sunday. Bring canned foods to help restock local food pantries. 

   

See you Sunday,

 

Dr. Todd Jordan,

Senior Pastor
