Share God's Love - Live God's Word - Grow God's Kingdom

Todd Jordan
Dear  ,

I'm kicking-off our "Transitions" sermon series this Sunday with my message, "Fear, Anxiety and Change" (Exodus 1:1-14). Parents age, children leave home, and workers retire... life is filled with transitions. Come (and invite your friends!) to hear how we can embrace these changes in our lives.

 
See you Sunday,

 

Dr. Todd Jordan,

Senior Pastor
