Questions & Answers
This Sunday
During our sermon time this Sunday, Pastor Melody and Jonathan will be having a question and answer time moderated by our own Steve Vegh. It is a time for you to ask questions regarding theology, putting faith into practice, Jonathan and Melody (individually and as a couple), and the church and its future. Nothing is off the table. Eek! This can result in questions from why no premarital sex?, what's your stance on human sexuality?, to how are you raising your child to be a follower of Jesus?, and what's your favorite color?! This hopefully will be fun and enlightening for us all. Please feel free to email your questions ahead of time to Pastor Melody by clicking here. There will also be a time at the beginning of the service to hand in questions, but sending in your questions ahead of time will allow Melody and Jonathan to better be prepared. This is going to be fun! See ya Sunday!
