Tomorrow morning, we begin a new sermon series on Psalms which will last through July 1.
The Psalms are unique in the Bible, as they provide words and a voice to express to God our deepest love and longings, fears and hopes. We hope that you will join us on this journey and find new ways to express yourself to God.

Just a reminder also that if you have signed up for Vineyard 101, it is tomorrow after 2nd service in the Norhill Room.

See you tomorrow!
