Coming this week we will continue the session led by Andrea called Rooted in Worship.  Many reduce worship to singing, but it is so much more. Worship is a lifestyle! Learn to develop a lifestyle of worship through insights from Quarterback Kirk Cousins, powerful testimonies of life transformation, and relevant Bible teaching from Don Cousins, Marcus Bieschke, Ben Markham, and John Parrott. Its going to be another super week!


Please make MidWeek a priority in your week. Believers who gather together can make an impact on our world!!
