Weekly Bulletin: 2023-08-09
I pray you will make plans to worship with us THIS Sunday, August 13 as, Lord willing, I will be starting a brand new sermon series through the book of Jonah! I can’t wait to dive into this familiar story of God’s runaway prophet since it has a wealth of meaning for us today. There is much more to Jonah than the infamous fish that swallowed him. In fact, we might see in him a little bit of ourselves.
I hope you’ll be in your spots on Sunday for another great day of worship and fellowship with your church family.
Blessings 🙏 Pastor Brad
