Lenten Sermon Series

Join us as we journey through the season of Lent while working on just saying “no" to things that we would do well to say “no" to. Our Lenten sermon series, Just Say No continues through March 22. Come hear the word from the scriptures encouraging, and at times imploring us to say “no” to things such as temptation, hypocrisy, fear, and others.
