SERMON
“A RENEWED IMAGINATION ”
Dear Church Family,
We begin a new sermon series this coming Sunday to finish out our summer season: "Joining God in God’s Mission.” Each Sunday will be a reflection of God’s mission of salvation for the world and His invitation to us to join Him.
This Sunday, Andrew Lauber will bring the Word, focusing on “The Source of Mission: A reconciled creation,” as it connects to Colossians 1:15-23.
The following Sundays include: "The Heart of Mission" (Mark 10), "The Goal of Mission" (Revelation 7), "The Means of Mission" (Acts 12-13), and "The Power of Mission" (Luke 10 and Acts 1).
I hope you can join us this August as we receive the Word of the Lord for our church.
For God’s Glory and Neighbor’s Good!
Pastor Dawn
