Add Perseverance
This Sunday Pastor Jim Renke will prepare us for meeting around the Table in worship. He will lead us through 2 Peter 1:6 as we consider what it takes to add perseverance to our faith. Life can get long. Temptations and trials come. How do we do more than just hang on? How do we thrive? Peter’s answer is “add perseverance.”
