Updated weekly with a devotional from one of our leaders, and opportunities to pray for the needs of our church family.
Will we GO where Jesus leads and GO as Jesus went?
Have you drawn closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ during the Easter season? May the unfolding of spring remind us of the freshness and renewal God pours out in the physical world. Let this encourage us as to what is possible in our lives when we trust in God and follow his ways.
