“
He Gave Us Stories.”
We see the stories of real people in 1 & 2 Kings. They happen to be all men, but their stories relate to all of us as they encapsulate huge themes we face as human beings. We are going to look together at their plans and decisions, their successes and failures; so that we can see God’s steadfast love and faithfulness percolating up through their stories. These stories that God gave us point to our own faults and our own longings. But most importantly, they point to Jesus as the solution to our deepest need.
In case you have missed a sermon just go to our website.

Rides for LeTourneau Students:
|
|
There is a need to find rides for a few college students without transportation who would like to attend our Sunday worship services. We are seeking drivers willing to commit to drive students to and from the LeTourneau Campus (2100 S Mobberly Ave). If you are only available on one end of service, don’t let that stop you! Consider tag-teaming with another person or family for pick-ups and drop-offs. There is a sign up sheet in the foyer. Please contact the church if you have questions.

All proceeds benefit the many services provided by LCM. Last year we welcomed over 1,600 through the gates and
we expect an even larger crowd this year at the mall
!
