WORSHIP ... GROW ... SERVE.

NEW SERMON SERIES: 
THAT WILL LEAVE A MARK
This Sunday (1/3): "Fear the Lord"  
Scripture: Genesis 12
 
We are starting a brand new sermon series for this new year centered on leaving a legacy for the next generation.  This series will beg the question, "What sort of Legacy will we leave behind for your children or grandchildren?"  In this study we will dissect the life of Abraham and see how he was able to impact those around him and leave his mark in this world.  This Sunday we will discover that our legacy begins with the Fear of the Lord, and how simple obedience can change the course of one's life, one's family, and even the surrounding community.  Join us this Sunday as we set out to leave a mark in this world. - ART
