Join us Each week in person or online
Sundays at 9:30am
SCRIPTURE: Ecclesiastes 5:1-20
SERMON SERIES:
LIFE UNDER THE SUN
Dear Church,
Join us this Sunday as we continue in our study of worship from the book of Ecclesiastes. How we worship reflects why we worship which reflects who we worship.
What does it mean to gather on one day of the week to worship together - and then what does it mean to take that worship out into our week? Is worship just for Sunday – or does it shape how we live our lives the rest of the week?
Afterwards, join our Adult Sunday School class featuring Kent Annan, Director of the Humanitarian Disaster Institute at Wheaton College, as we continue the theme of loving others in our community and in our world as a part of what it means to worship God.
See you in church!
Pastor Dawn
