Hi [subscriber:firstname],
come and celebrate level 1 with us! This Sunday we begin our new teaching series called Unravelled. We meet at 8am and 10am for in-person worship. And online, we will be launching our new podcast of the homily during our unravelled series. We hope to see you online, or in person this Sunday.

Unravelled
|
We have big plans for the next three months with a new worship and teaching series called "Unraveled: Seeking God When Our Plans Fall Apart". The last few months have been challenging in many ways and this will be a time to reflect and contemplate on the ways that our lives have been unraveled by circumstances and how God works to both challenge and transform us.
