NEW SERMON SERIES | STARTS THIS SUNDAY
There's no getting around it--life is tough. And much of the time, many of us feel anxious. Or invisible. Hopeless. Lost. But the Bible has good news for those who struggle: God loves us, and he is the one who can meet all of our needs. On Sunday, September 8, we'll launch a new teaching series called, "God Is . . ." where we're explore six Biblical names for God that give us a window into who he really is. Join us September 8 and bring a friend! Click
HERE to send a personal invitation!
