On this Palm Sunday we will explore
God's Will and Jesus' Example. Attend the 9:00 traditional or 10:15 progressive One and All service and hear Rev. Jim Warren's sermon on Philippians 2:1-11. About the passage and sermon, Jim says, "This passage encourages us to have the same mind as Jesus Christ, and it describes what a life patterned on Jesus looks like. Our lives are to conform to Jesus' humble, loving example."
The Chancel Choir is working on wonderful music to enhance our worship experience at the 9:00 service At the 10:15 service, the One and All band will be playing favorite numbers. Come for a unique service, complete with a very special time for prayer and a nice spread of light breakfast foods, complimentary as always!
