THE LORD'S SUPPER will be served during our worship service today. Everyone who knows Jesus as Savior is invited to join in taking communion.
THE PREACHING TODAY will be the first message in a five-week series based on Matthew chapter 28. This chapter is known as the "Discourse on the Church." Jesus teaches his followers about how to properly relate to one another. Today we focus on Matthew 18:1-6, where Jesus says, "Unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
