Opportunities

Pastoral Messages | June 1, 2023

Time with the Spirit

Pastoral Messages | May 25, 2023

Clear-headed

Pastoral Messages | May 4, 2023

I love clarity. Waking up in the morning and having a clear sense of the day ahead strikes me as a good way to live. It seems so right to want clear insight for whatever problems the day may bring. That I could have a clear view of how things fit or…

Pastoral Messages | April 27, 2023
