November 18 and 19
Have you ever felt all dried up and completely finished? The prophet Ezekiel invites us to imagine dry bones and a God who brings those dry bones back to life. Many other stories in scripture feature God bringing what seems dead and gone back to life and newness. What parts of your life seem so dry that they are wasting away? How might God offer you a new vision and new hope?
Saturday:
5pm with our Praise Band
Sunday:
8:15am with Brass Ensemble and Organ
9:30am with our Praise Band
11am with Chancel
Choir, Brass Ensemble and Organ
