A New Start the Right Way
This week, we will gather around the Lord’s Table and come with Prayers of the People. In our worship, Pastor Jim will lead us through Genesis 7&8. Noah was a great example of faithful obedience. Let’s gather see what that might look like in our life. And consider how it could transform the impact we have in our world.
