LIFE Night Worship this Wednesday,

January 8th


Wednesday theme: The Magi come to Bethlehem bearing gifts for Jesus but also because they have been gifted by God, equipped and empowered to follow their star. So too are we! Believing in Jesus means something, the Holy Spirit does something through us and in us so that the world can know God by our faith in Jesus. We all have these gifts. Shall we not put them to use? In this season of discovery, let us discover again God’s gifts that aid us in this journey that we call life.
