5 WEEK OUTREACH EMPHASIS
This Sunday marks week three of our focus on outreach in our worship services. Each of our pastoral staff will be preaching from a passage related to outreach. Please pray with us that the Spirit compels us to marvel again at our great salvation and propels us to love those in our lives who don’t yet know our Savior Jesus.

Since their beginning in 2013, their projects have been hailed as “an imaginative treatment of faith…[having] a visionary quality that’s both playful and enraptured.” They have a knack for creating a listening experience similar to paging through your favorite book, with richly textured compositions and multi-layered lyrics.
