Some marriages are not made in heaven. But as it turns out, according to Jesus, even if your marriage is picture-perfect, it was not made in heaven. Married life is meant to give us a taste in this world of something we will have in full, from God, in our life to come. Worship with us Sunday to learn more! ~ Pastor Todd

All Saints Sunday is a day to remember the "saints" -- by the New Testament meaning "all Christian people of every time and place." We celebrate the communion of saints as we remember those who have died, both in our local congregations and throughout the Church universal.
