I hope you were blessed by Pastor Joe's sermon last week! This Sunday we'll continue in the Mark series with an exciting teaching of Mark 2.23-28 entitled, "Jesus Breaks the Rules (Again)". We will have a great time of celebration with people who have made a commitment to follow Christ and be baptized. And we will worship together - I can't wait!
Don't forget to check out all the opportunities below, including the Sabbatical Send Off that the staff is having next Sunday (as my last Sunday will be the following week on Mother's Day). I'd love to see you before I leave.
With Love-
Lionel
