I grew up in the church. Every week we sang hymns. For the most part I thought they were boring and dull. I was a young. On Easter we sang a hymn that we sang so many times but one year it hit me hard. I wasn’t listening to the...

For our Sunday service, we'll be again offering two modes: FB Live - this will be up on Jim's FB Page and the church's FB Page once we get going, at 11:00am or shortly following. Drive-in - similar to last week, we'll be offering a drive-in style option. Please DO...
