Worship Sneak Peek
April 7th
This Holy Mystery: Inspiration
Join us for the fifth Sunday in Lent as we continue with our worship series on Holy Communion. Each week until Easter, we'll explore a different aspect of this great and mysterious meal of bread and cup. This week, we will focus our attention on the work of the Holy Spirit and the inspiration that blows through the community and individuals gathered around the communion table. We hope you join us to grow in your understanding and experience of communion.
