FROM PASTOR SARAH
Beloved of God, 

This week in worship we will take a look at three points in our Loving Behaviors List.: 

We, as members, leaders, and participants of SPLC, agree to strive to Share Christ's Love with Joy through these loving behaviors. We will:

-Seek to understand and respect differing viewpoints. (1   Corinthians 1:10)
-Seek forgiveness when our words or actions have   caused caused pain to others. Forgive when another's   words or actions have caused me pain. (Matthew 6:12)
-Practice a mindset of love for God and our church   before ourselves. (Philippians 2:1-5)

Join me as we take these behaviors to heart and live them out in our congregation! 

In peace, 
Pastor Sarah 
February 26th - 7:00

Please join us for Ash Wednesday service.
