Grace & Peace to you this day!
Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. (Romans 12:9-12)
Looking forward to gathering for worship this Sunday, August 30, either in person in our sanctuary at 10:00 a.m. OR via a recorded service using the link below.
Our worship will consider the story of the Moses at the Burning Bush, and what is means to stand on Holy Ground. I hope our worship offers you help and comfort in these times – if you are able to gather in our sanctuary or watch from home. May you rely on your faith and one another.
