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

Todd Jordan
Dear  ,

My Transitions sermon series continues. For this third week, my message will be "Wrestling with Regret" (Exodus 14:5-14). Last week we talked about the pain of letting go and how God can help. If you missed it, hear this and all Strawbridge messages on our sermon player.  

 

If we're alive, life is changing. Come (and invite your friends!) to hear how you can survive and thrive during life's transitions.   

 

See you Sunday,

 

Dr. Todd Jordan,

Senior Pastor

Be a Sexton

 

If you're looking for a way to serve, but have limited time, consider being a sexton. Strawbridge UMC sextons are a faithful group of about 8 people who open and close the church each Sunday. Four people share opening duty, and four people share closing duty, usually serving once per month. We could use another person to help with the morning openings. Contact Chuck Rollo at 281.731.2848 or email [email protected].
