LIVING like Jesus, bringing JOY to God
Imagine . . . Commitment Weekend is November 9/10 What might God do when we fully entrust our lives and resources to him? Dr. Davis Chappell concludes his “Imagine” sermon series next weekend as he explores the story in the Gospel of Luke of the poor widow who gave her all. We will also have an opportunity to bring our commitment cards to worship and dedicate ourselves and our resources to God.
