Upcoming Worship Services
February 14th “Love and Commitment”
- “Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is not jealous, not pompous, not inflated, not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick tempered, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth’ (1 Cor 13:4-6) Knowing this already why is this so hard to live? In the spirit of Valentines Day we shall explore this question.
February 21st “Why Don’t We Listen”
