Grounded in Gratitude
Genesis 1:27-31
The act of creation, and the naming of that creation as good, is the first step in understanding God's loving and giving nature. God chose to bring us and all that is into existence. This giving spirit has been placed within us, as we are created in God's image. Experiencing God's creation can and should ground us in a spirit of gratitude and remind us that we are called to give like God.
Saturday:
5pm with Praise Band
Sunday:
8:15am with Hymns and Organ
9:30am with Praise Band
11am with Chancel Choir
