Our Relationship With One Another
This Sunday, we look forward to worship together as God’s family. We’ll gather around the Table to fellowship with our Lord and one another. In that we’ll celebrate the gift of Christ’s sacrifice, which unites our hearts together in His love.
Pastor Jim Renke will be preaching from 1 John 3:11-24 as he continues our series, “I CAN RELATE.” We’ll see the joy and confidence that comes from lives of loving one another. How are you connecting with the Body of Christ? As always, you’re welcome to join us!

First Hour Classes:
