Finding Our Footing
This morning, we can enjoy the reset that worship brings. Through song, prayers and the Word, we tell the story again of God’s grace that delivers and sustains us. Pastor Jim will share from Psalm 73, what happens when we almost lose our footing and find the path to reset our faith on firm ground. We pray you’ll be strengthened by our time to together in God’s presence.
