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

Todd Jordan
Dear Greetings:

You don't want to miss being here at Strawbridge for Palm Sunday.  Come enjoy the Requiem at the 9:00 service.  Then there will be a Children's Palm Parade at the beginning of each service and a HUGE Egg Hunt during the Sunday School hour. At the 11:15 service my sermon title is Journey to the Cross: Step into Adversity.  Our  scripture text for this Sunday is Mark 11:1-10 & Luke 23:13-25.  

 

 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.
