consecration-sunday

Today, October 26th, is Consecration Sunday. Please join us in worship at the 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 Services as we continue our Sermon Series on “Celebrate the Gifts.”

Sermon Topic: Gifts: What Do You Do with the Gifts Given? (Deuteronomy 14:22-28) Wow! I can’t believe all the good gifts that God has given to us. And there are no strings attached to His gifts. But how do we use them? What do we do with them? Is there a guide to how we should respond? Let’s see together this Sunday.
