Morning Worship 10:30 am

Easter may seem like ancient history but in the church we're still celebrating!  This Sunday we get to hear and learn about Paul's famous conversion on the road to Damascus.  Paul's conversion, depicted in many paintings throughout history, is well known and dramatic.  But what about you, do you have such a dramatic story?  Most of us do not, but that doesn't mean God hasn't been at work in your life.  Come, listen and learn.  See you in church!
