FIRST CHANCE TO SERVE TOGETHER IN 2020

This Sunday | 11:45 AM - 2 PM | Thanks Giving Square

Our first family-friendly outreach opportunity of 2020 is this Sunday. We will be serving downtown at The Gathering - a church community supported by the Diocese of Dallas and a ministry to, with, and for the homeless. We will gather in Thanks-Giving Square for Mass and then pass out lunch to those in attendance.

There is still time to join our group of volunteers. Our youth group will be making sandwiches during the formation hour and then all volunteers will head downtown following the 10:30 service. Families wishing to ride the bus should reserve seats by this Friday.

If you aren't able to attend but still want to serve, we encourage you to help us keep the people we will be serving warm. Bring new or gently used hats, gloves, scarves ,and socks to church on Sunday and our volunteers will make sure they get to someone in need. Our collection box is outside of the Bride's Room.

THIS SUNDAY

THE FIELD - CURRENT SERMON SERIES

In pursuing the wisdom of Jesus, we are all having to unlearn the same false narratives we learned from the world. It has always been that way. In seeking to speak to the divisions in the Corinthian church, Paul takes on those who believe their “wisdom” sets them apart from other church members, and announces that God’s wisdom is far greater than human wisdom. Come and hear on Sunday what God’s wisdom looks like.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2-12
