Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Join us in person and online for worship service starting at 9:55 with gathering music.
This week’s message:
“God Finds Joy in You”
Life is more joyful when we have something to look forward to, and a hope
to hold on to. This week, we will conclude our “Minor League MVP” series
with one more minor prophet, Zephaniah. While Zephaniah names the
hard realities of the world around him, he also lifts up a vision of hope that
sparks great anticipation and joy. Join us as we consider how God’s holy
hope spurs us on in our daily lives!
If you watch the service online, please take a moment to click the link in the online description or here
