Worship
What's our diagnosis? Our spiritual condition apart from Christ is terminal. Only God's mercy can rescue and heal our lives through the message of the gospel. This Sunday in our new series, The Power of the Good News, we look at Romans 1:18-32 with our message, "We All Need God's Saving Power."
The altar flowers are given to the Glory of God!
Altar Flower Sponsorships are still available for July 29 and August 12. Please sign up at the Information Center.
