Regular Gatherings
Intersect takes Sunday School to the "next level"!
For the Summer, we're having just one worship service in the Sanctuary at 10AM.
Intersect and Crossroads Kids will also gather at 10AM.
We're continuing to ask big and bold questions about our faith this Summer. This week, we're inquiring "
Was Jesus of Nazareth God?".
What does it mean to be God-like? How did Jesus express his humanity and his Divinity? Can you relate to Jesus in any way?
It's going to be a super Sunday!!
