Sunday WorshipWe will take a break from the "Among Us" series that explores the first chapter of the gospel according to John. This Sunday, we will look at Acts 16:11-34 to explore why bad things seem to happen to good people, how we are to respond - and why. The example of Paul we explore will not be an easy one to follow perfectly, but perhaps in his example we will find encouragement and guidance for when we face adversity. The sermon is titled, "Bad Things, Good People." Join us this Sunday at 9:30 for prayer, 10:00 am for worship and Communion, and fellowship downstairs after the service.
