Sunday Worship: Mar. 22, 2015 
"The Crossroads of Anxiety and Abundance"   

This Sunday we continue our Lenten worship series, "Crossroads." At the crossroads of our lives, we can reflect where we are, where we're heading and what we're taking with us. The season of Lent, the 40 days from Ash Wednesday to Easter, is traditionally a time of self-examination in which we focus on our relationship with God. Click here to learn more.

Sanctuary: The Rev. Danny Bennett (8:30, 9:30 a.m.); The Rev. Debbie Casanzio (11 a.m.)
