A Weekly Devotion with Your Pastor

In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to overlook the significance of the Sabbath. Yet, in God's infinite wisdom, He established the Sabbath as a gift to humanity—a day of rest, reflection, and restoration.

The importance of the Sabbath lies not only in its commandment but also in its purpose. It's a day set apart for us to commune with God, to reconnect with our loved ones, and to rejuvenate our souls. In the rhythm of the Sabbath, we find balance amidst life's demands, reminding us that our worth isn't tied to our productivity.

By observing the Sabbath, we acknowledge God's sovereignty over time and trust in His provision. It's a tangible expression of our faith, demonstrating our dependence on Him for sustenance and strength. As we honor the Sabbath, may we experience the deep joy and peace that comes from resting in God's presence.

Try this for a change?

It's not weekly. It's not monthly. It's not semi-annually.

It's Sunday, April 21, 2024, 4 p.m.

It's a contemporary worship service!

The traditional worship service remains at 10 a.m. on 4/21/24.

Now, you have a choice. Are you up for something different?

Hummmm, sounds interesting, right?

Try it, you might like it!

God is happy we celebrate Him twice in one day.
