Jesus Work: Where is God?
What's the Least I Can Believe and Still be a Christian? This week we'll consider the foundational question: Where is God? Is God actually at work in the world? We'll explore some Scripture that explores this question. I hope we might have a chance to worship together this Sunday! |

Telephone Services
Through our review of our SRT services, we discovered that we had two voicemails. We now have this whittled down to only one voicemail.
We are in the process of getting this consolidated and updated.
Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about any of this.
