Sunday Worship, June 5
The Case of the Fiery Face-Off 

Prayer should be part of our lives, but how can it be more meaningful than a lucky rabbit's foot or magic incantation? Join us as we explore how this story of Elijah opposing the prophets of false Gods can help us see prayer in a new way.

Our current worship series explores the stories of two of God's special agents, Elijah and Elisha. Learn more. View and share the latest sermons from the Rev. Justin LaRosa and Mat Hotho on "The Case of the Amazing Abundance".
