At The Start
This Sunday we will gather to give God praise, and fellowship around the Table and around the Word of God. Pastor Jim Renke will start our new series through Genesis 1-12. The message this Sunday is from Genesis 1:1-3 and titled, “At the Start”. We look forward to seeing how these opening verses of Genesis encourage us with the glorious story of redemption!
