Life in a Strange Land
This Sunday we’ll be worshiping the Lord through song, prayers of the people, and Scripture. Pastor Jim Renke will begin a new series, Life in a Strange Land, a journey through 1 Peter. We’ll start with 1 Peter 1:1-2. We pray you are encouraged in your daily walk with Christ in this world that can often feel like a foreign land.
