Worship: April 2021
Morning and evening worship services are in our church building. Everyone is welcome to attend!
Live stream and recordings of the services will continue to be available.
We hope you are blessed as you join in worship...whether in person or via Live stream!
The banners in our church represent the liturgical season of Easter when the Church celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Crown of Thorns has been changed to a Crown of Glory. “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, forever and ever!” Revelation 5:13.
All seven pulpit candles will be lit for the entire season of Easter (until Pentecost).
