"The Cornerstone"
Sunday Sermon
Less than one week after the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history, investigators appear no closer to answering the question:
"Why?" Why did Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old retired accountant, fire from his 32nd-floor hotel window into a crowd of 22,000 concertgoers in the heart of Las Vegas? Why did he continue firing with an arsenal of weapons for nine to 11 minutes, leaving at least 59 people dead and more than 527 with serious gunshot wounds or stampede injuries?
Why? Pastor Andy's message this Sunday from the parable of the tenants will help us all stand firm upon the cornerstone of our lives in times like these.
Worship: 9:00 & 10:30 a.m.

Our prayer team is available Tuesday night, anytime between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. Come on by - when you seek Him, you will find Him.
