9:15 AM, Hebron Hall
John & Liz Albert |Keeping Faith with Perseverance and Hope in Suffering
The Albert's will provide insight on how their faith has held them considering John's medical challenges over the past couple of years. There were times when John's life hung in the balance, but he and Liz did not waver in their faith or hope in the Lord.

Today's young people are leaving the church at an alarming rate. Across America, Sunday Schools seem ineffective, Youth Gatherings seem empty, and many people are asking the question "What is the future of the church?" On Sunday, January 29th, our own Erin Macdonald will engage with these questions and more, as she offers a look into what we can do to ensure the message of the Gospel reaches future generations. This class is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED for all members of Christ Church.
