Letter to the Church


Thank you for joining us for worship this week.

Today, we continue our message series - THE BLESSING. We are looking at the early fathers of our faith as we study Genesis 24-34. This week we study Genesis 27 as we study the impact "striving to get things your way" can have on the family.

I pray that your participation in today's worship helps to move you closer to Jesus and reveals more of his plan for your life.
