Join us on Sundays at 9 or 10:45 AM or online for worship music, a message that applies to real life, and connection with other people like you! The final section of our exploration of the book of John will run from April 27 through May 25. Jesus finished His work on the cross but there is still work for those who follow Him. The final 37 verses of John's love story remind us that Jesus sends us out to testify to the truth. They invite us to trust in Jesus' provision for our everyday. They encourage us with the love and life of our Savior which restore our weary hearts. John wrote so that "by believing we may have life in Jesus' name".
