Sunday, March 9th
Lent invites us on a journey—a journey of reflection, renewal, and transformation.
This year at Norval, we travel with Hope for the Journey, trusting that even in the wilderness, love and grace will meet us along the way.
Join us for worship as we begin this sacred season, opening our hearts to the possibility of new life, deeper connection, and unexpected hope. Whether in person or online, there is a place for you on this journey. As we begin, where do you find hope stirring in your life?
| |
Join us Online for Worship @ 9:00AM
or
for In-Person Worship @ 10:00 AM
You can find the online service on Facebook Live or on our YouTube channel.
The service will be saved at both locations for viewing through the week.
