    At what point in your life are you ready to let go and meet your Savior?

    When will you be content to die? This is a strange theme the Sunday after Christmas. Who wants to talk about dying, the day after Christmas or any day for that matter? And to answer the question when will you be content to die? When I asked this question around home and the office the response ...read more

    What does the dedication of Jesus have to say to us about our New Year

    If you were here early, you might have wondered at the music playing. After all, you don’t often have hymns combined with 1960’s pop music. They were chosen because of their theme.
