A Year in Review

Tonight, we read through the first seven chapters of Luke (including the geneology) pausing to remember what affected us and sharing new things that stood out.  Looking at the seven chapters as a whole gave us the big picture of what we have covered in detail over the last year.  Listening to what had impacted others gave new insights to the rest of us encouraging us to see what God has for the next year.

Join us for a night of worship lead by Matt Holiday as we give praise to our Sustainer and partner with what God has for our body.  So, let's come humbled and prepared to be molded by our Father.
