LATEST MESSAGE

Palm Sunday's sermon explored the profound significance of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. It highlighted how Jesus fulfilled ancient prophecies, challenged expectations of kingship, and demonstrated God's boundless love for humanity. We were reminded that Palm Sunday is not just about parades and palm waving, but about recognizing Jesus as the unexpected Messiah who came to overthrow sin and death, not earthly powers.


As we journey through Holy Week, let's take time to ponder God's love in new and profound ways. Let's ask ourselves what might be holding us back from fully absorbing and living in that love. Remember, through Christ's sacrifice, we are made worthy of this incredible love. May this week be a time of deep reflection and spiritual growth for all of us.

At Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), service is about much more than constructing beds for kids in need. Their mission extends to building communities, transforming lives, and creating opportunities for personal growth and learning.

Every bed we build demonstrates the power of service and the incredible potential that emerges when people come together with a shared purpose.


Join us on May 17, as we assist in providing beds for those in need! We will gather at The MET Church and come together to transport beds to children in the area. Be there by 8:30am to sign up with others from John Wesley!
