"Taking the High Road"

Today is the 2nd Sunday in Easter and we are still joyful that Christ is risen indeed!  Last night we discovered that our church had been burglarized, so that is reflected in our message and worship service today.  Now join us for our message, “Taking the High Road” delivered by our Director of Music, Wesley McCall.

This is our fifth Sunday without a congregation due to the Coronavirus. While we are all doing our best to stay at home and practice social distancing that doesn’t mean we have to distance ourselves from Christ and what this day means to all of us.  Today is Easter Sunday.  Let’s celebrate and be joyful that Christ has risen indeed!  We invite you to join us now for “How the Virus Stole Easter.”
