Sunday, March 23rd

Join us this Sunday as we celebrate P.I.E. Sunday and the radical, inclusive love of God. We’ll reflect on the parables where Jesus joyfully welcomes all, reminding us that no one is excluded from God’s love. We are also excited to welcome our guest speaker, Ruth Noble, Executive Director of Affirm United, who will share her insights with us this Sunday.

At Norval, we strive to be — Public, Intentional, and Explicit — as we embrace everyone into our community, affirming God’s love for all. How can we, as a community, hold onto hope by being Public, Intentional, and Explicit in our welcome to all? Join us online at 9 a.m. or in person at 10 a.m. as we worship together!

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.
