To sign up & receive some fuel we've prepared to help make Lent
meaningful for you & for the entire Grove community, Click here.
This Sunday we dive into a new worship series called Running On Empty.
It's all about learning to walk in faith when you just don't feel like it.
How do you talk to God when you're feeling hopeless or abandoned or angry or depressed? Sometimes, when we need God the most, we turn away. We tell ourselves that we'll return to our faith when we 'feel' better. But God desires to be in relationship with us no matter how we are feeling - and God has a life-giving word for us especially when we are at our most broken.
Join us at 10amthis Sunday as we exploreFaith for the Hopeless.
