Title_StoriesMatter_Worship_Series_Thumb.jpg

The season of Easter, or Eastertide, is a time to embrace the promise and hope of the Resurrection. It is a time of leaning into the stories that matter. Come and gather around the stories of those who wrestled with the Easter event and some of the words of preparation that Jesus gave to help us live the reality of eternity now.

Paul is Changed 

Acts 9: 1-20

Paul had an encounter that changed his life. He was walking to the city of Damascus when suddenly, he was surrounded by light! Paul heard Jesus’ voice, and his heart was changed. From that time on, he began recruiting followers of Jesus.

Today's Blessing:

Dear God,

Help us to share your love with everyone we meet. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Childcare is available on Sunday mornings for ages birth to 4 years & Kinder to 5th Grade
