Renew - January Sermon Series
As we begin a new year, many of us long for a fresh start—but true renewal comes not from trying harder, but from opening our hearts to God’s grace.
This January, we invite you to join us for a worship series titled Renew, rooted in Scripture and prayer. Together, we will reflect on God’s promise to restore weary hearts, renew our spirits, and shape our lives in love.
Lenten Journey
This Lent, we invite you to slow down and journey together through five meaningful weeks of faith, conversation, and connection. Each evening will include a shared dinner, time for fellowship, and small groups for all ages as we reflect, pray, and grow together.
The journey begins on February 26 and continues for five Wednesdays at 6 pm, including dinner.
