Post-Service Discussion
Dig In: The Power of Sacrifice || Sundays, 11:20am–12:30pm || Feb. 18, Mar. 3, Mar. 10, Mar. 17, Mar. 24 || During Lent our sermon series, “The Power of Sacrifice,” we will explore the theme of sacrifice not from a negative or life-draining perspective but instead from a life-giving perspective that can lead us to the fullness of life here and now. In “Dig In: The Power of Sacrifice,” Pastors Rob or Joel will facilitate a discussion around that morning’s scripture and sermon, and how we might live more fully into its challenges but also into its invitations. No RSVP is required, just drop by the Library after worship.
