This Sunday, November 19th
|
|
Worship at 8:30 and 11:00 am
The church has its own calendar of the Christian year, with its own seasons. These seasons mirror the seasons of our lives and our world, and carry with them a sense of God's movement in different seasons. This week, we take a tour through the seasons of the Christian calendar, getting a taste of the meaning and message of each season.

No book purchase is necessary. The book gets absolutely rave reviews, so it should be enriching.
