This Weekend in Worship
Trinity Sunday is a Sunday which is set aside to remind us that we believe and teach a Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. While the word, “Trinity,” is not found in the Bible, it summarizes all that we teach about God in the 3 Creeds – Apostles, Nicene and Athanasian.
This week's message, "The Holy Trinity," is based on Genesis 1:1-2:4a, Acts 2:14a, 22-36 & Matthew 2816-20.
Our weekend worship times are:
- Saturday - 5:00 pm Traditional Worship with Communion
- Sunday - 9:00 am Contemporary Worship with Communion & Kids Church
- Sunday - 10:30 am Contemporary Worship with Communion & Kids Church
- Sunday - 12:00pm Spanish Worship with Communion
Come worship with us!
