Please consider partnering with us in declaring the goodness of God throughout this community and in our world.
This is an exciting Sunday for the congregation. Our “Passion” series of sermons will culminate today in the wonderful story of Jesus’ resurrection. Our Savior came out of the grave, and because he did, we have an incredible hope, a clear purpose, and a secure eternity with God. Let us praise and thank God today—and every day—for the empty tomb.
