SERMON SERIES:
JOINING GOD ON GODS MISSION

Dear Church,

I am so excited to be with you all this Sunday for worship as we continue our series in Joining God in God’s mission! This Sunday we will be in Mark 10:35-45 and we will see what the heart of God’s mission is as exemplified in our Lord, Jesus. The heart of mission is a life of service. We have the incredible privilege of being servants of all whom the Lord puts in our path. I can’t wait to worship with you.

Peace,
Pastor Jeff
