The two most important questions.
What does God want from us?
How does God feel about us?
As we explore the book of Ephesians this week we will discover that, God's grace answers both of these important questions. We will also discover that a misunderstanding of Grace can lead us to two extremes, both of which will lead us away from intimacy with and enjoyment of God.
Join us this week as we explore how "Jesus breaks the chains that bind us," from Ephesians 2.

We will have some Saturday afternoon recreation activities, the famous talent show, joy filled worship, games and teach by Pastor Steve Paulus.
