We will also begin our midweek Lent sermon series entitled "Sounds of the Passion." We will begin this series by listening to the sound of "Ripping Cloth." Invite your friends and neighbors to come and worship with us during the Lenten season as we listen to and ponder the "Sounds of the Passion."

Bible Study Follows Worship Everyone is invited to join us for our weekly Bible Study which follows the worship service each Sunday morning. Be sure to bring your Bibles to church each week as we study God's Word together!
