Sunday Worship
10:00am
It's hard to deny the divisiveness and discord in our country today. Regardless of where we fall on the political spectrum, we can feel disillusioned when witnessing the animosity among our country's political leaders. The Apostle Paul was facing a very similar issue of schisms and quarrels within the church at Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:10-18). Paul points us to Jesus who will not be divided, who will not take sides in the quarrel, who cannot be found among the various identity markers. Pastor Dana preaching. Childcare available.
