Finding Our Place
This morning, we’ll enjoy God’s gracious presence together as we worship him. In song, reading the Word, and prayer, we'll join in offering him the praise he alone deserves. Pastor Jim Renke will share from Psalm 8. And we will discover that God has given us a place in this world that is unlike any other. Our hope is that you will step into that place and know God made it for you.
