Hi ,
it was great to be able to celebrate level 1 last week. We also began our new teaching series called Unraveled. This week we explore Peter walking on the water, and how we all get things wrong at times. We meet at 8am and 10am for in-person worship. At 10am on YouTube our new podcast of the homily during our unraveled series goes live. We hope to see you online, or in person this Sunday.

Unraveled Teaching Series
|
We have started a 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.
