In this series we will examine the OT book of Lamentations which provides a biblical and theological lens for examining our relation...

This series will help prepare all of us for what we can expect as well as help us evaluate what lessons from these past 14 months we can hold onto as we emerge out of our pre-pandemic lives and step forward into a new world. We will explore what God’s people today can learn from the last 3 prophetic books of the Old Testament that also addressed a people stepping into the new.

Our Re-Gathering Service after not having the building open for 470 days due to COVID-19.
