Worship with us this Sunday! 9am Sunday School 10:15am Worship John chapter 13 leads us into Jesus' final days of his earthly life. For the most part, Jesus' attention will be directed towards his disciples. He has spent 3 years with them. They have not been an easy lot to deal with. While there were some bright spots, all too frequently there was infighting, pride, and jealousy.  In this final week, Jesus must teach them the key to kingdom living. They will need to love each other as Jesus has loved them. We hope that you will join us this Sunday morning in-person or online at 10:15am, as we continue our series Believe.
