Weekly Newsletter | January 17th

SIMPLE 3

Faith is believing in something we cannot see, but it is so much more than just belief. Faith informs how we live and respond to the world around us. Faith in Jesus requires us to put Jesus’ teachings into practice in our everyday lives. At the start of the new year, we are inviting you to the heart of our faith to discover or to remind ourselves of what it looks like to put into practice

what we say we believe.  

THIS WEEK'S SERMON PREVIEW

Luke 10:25-37 | Do Good | Pastor Wendy
