Sixth Sunday after Pentecost
Join us in person and online for worship service starting at 9:55 with gathering music.
STORYTIME
As human beings, we are wired for stories.
Stories connect us to one another and help us understand truths
that are far more expansive than a mere list of facts.
It’s no surprise, then, that Jesus loved to tell good and important stories.
For the next couple of weeks, we will experience children’s stories alongside the stories of Jesus,
and discover how we are indeed part of God’s great story.
“Storytime,” a series on finding holy truths in childhood favorites, kicks off this week!
If you watch the service online, please take a moment to click the link in the online description or here
