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

Todd Jordan
Dear Greetings:

Our "Journey to the Cross, One Step at a Time" continues this Fifth Sunday in Lent with my message "Step into Hope" (John 11:1-6, 17, 38-44). Soon there will be an opportunity for your family to be photographed for our new pictorial directory.  Cheryl Burnett and her team will be calling on us all soon.  We will try to make this as painless as possible for those of you fearful photo folks!  In the end we will have a great new publication showing off our Strawbridge family.

 

See you Sunday,

 

Dr. Todd Jordan,

Senior Pastor

Short-Term Study

"What's So Amazing About Grace?"

Following the 3 Simple Rules to do no harm, do good, and stay in love with God requires lots of Grace. This discussion based class will challenge us to look at the radical and life-changing ways that Grace finds us, and the way that its power can change our lives and the life of the church.
