WORSHIP What's up with worship?
Traditional Worship
This week in worship... Psalm 23 Psalm of Wisdom: Developing Honest Prayer What can be our boundaries and guidance in our daily life? The Psalmists wrote about their daily lives. These prayers, songs, and poems reflect all of our human emotions in the day to day lives we live. If we were to begin to dig deeper into a prayer life or the discipline of conversation with God, what would that look like? How can the Psalms and their songs of joy, lament, anger, and longing help us find a connection with our Great God?
Join us!
