Sunday Services

Today, we had a great worship experience. God be praised for the warm fellowship, inspirational singing and the ministry of the word!!! In addition to great worship, we shared in the Lord's table and baptized a new member. Today, I finished up a two part message entitled, "When a man encounters Jesus".  Here is a skeleton outline of the message from Luke 19:1-10.
