Weekly Bulletin: 2023-05-24
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible” (Heb. 11:1–3).
Join us for worship this Sunday, May 28, at 10 AM as we look to the Word of God again to build and strengthen our faith. As we gather together, we take part in the life of faith together, through which we are able to endure. Come gather around the Word as we look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
Blessings 🙏 Pastor Brad
