TUESDAY CHALLENGE On Sunday, we kicked off our new series Ephesians: The Conduct of the Church. Apostle Paul tells in Ephesians, we are to “walk worthy” --to conduct ourselves in a way which pleases Christ. Pastor Brant challenged us to do this through five practical ways: Be humble. Be nice. Be patient. Be loving. Be a team player -What a great challenge to take with us throughout our week!

Sunday follow-up resources available here.
