IN WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY
"Wet, Wild, and Holy"
PLEASE NOTE: This Sunday’s sermon will include a frank discussion of sex and human sexuality. If you have littles ones and are not ready to engage with them on these issues, you might want to have some headphones handy.

Perhaps it’s our puritanical roots (like, literally puritanical - our denomination is a direct descendant of the Puritans!), but we don’t talk much about sex at church.
However, that’s not because the bible doesn’t talk about it. It does. In fact, it talks about it A LOT.

And what it has to say is far more complex than the sex before marriage = bad; sex after marriage = good formula that Christians like to throw around.

Join us this Sunday at 10:30 as we explore biblical wisdom for how we can be faithful followers of Jesus, even between the sheets.
