March 9. Give up Something BAD for Lent. Matthew 5:29-30, 16:26

Max Lucado believes the day Christ comes will be the beginning of the very best. Our primary task is to be prepared and peaceful while we wait. If you like to look to the end of time as a source of comfort, please join us on Sundays, beginning March 9th at 9:30 am as we study “When Christ Comes”.
If you have any questions, contact Carol Wilson here.
