The Reason We Hide
This Sunday, we will celebrate God’s grace of understanding, in our worship of Him. He knows who we are and always provides the way of coming home to him. Pastor Jim Renke will lead us through Genesis 3:1-10. In this passage, Adam and Eve go from true fellowship with God and one another, to a life of hiding. We’ll see how to get back to communion with our Creator.
