Hope Happenings

Week of August 5, 2018

In James chapter two, we’ll be looking at favoritism in the church.

We all desire to be a part of a friendly community of believers, but James begs the question, are we a friendly church or a church of friends? Join us this Sunday as we confront favoritism and explore Christ-like friendship.
Blessings - Pastor Nate Roschen
