Worship with us this Sunday! 9am Sunday School Worship 10:15am Worship It seems the world is short on hope these days with all the problems we face as a people. And the hope humankind has is a temporary hope at best. But with God, hope has a different definition and entirely different implication. 1 Peter 1:3-4 says we have a “living hope” in the resurrected Christ. We sure can use this hope right now! So, join us in person or online this Sunday at 10:15am as Pastor Brant shares some "real hope" with us.
