UPCOMING SERMON SERIES: "REST"
Beginning next weekend
Rest.
We live in a culture that doesn’t rest. We schedule every minute of our lives and pride ourselves on not wasting time. But what does God say about rest? During the month of July, we’ll learn to see rest the way God does – as an active pause. If you’ve been tired or weary lately, or are just in need of a break, invite your friends and join us as we find rest in God’s presence.
