Summer Preaching Series:  Peace

We as a staff are excited to preach a series this summer revolving around the theme of Peace.  We will start with some foundational groundwork looking at the basis for our peace with God, and how once that is established, we can be at Peace with ourselves and with others.  The series will culminate on August 9 with an all-staff led Lord’s Table service. 

 

Below is a tentative schedule including the individual sermons, who is preaching, and what facet of Peace we will be preaching on.
