WE WELCOME YOU TO OUR SERVICE! We have come together on the LORD'S Day to seek God's face, purposes, and righteousness. We pray that during our time of corporate worship, our simple offerings of praise and devotion will honor and magnify the Lord Jesus, and that the Holy Spirit will renew our minds and conform us to His will. If you have a special need today, or have any questions, please meet with the pastor or an elder after the service. God bless you.
