This Sunday begins a new series that will take us through the end of summer. It is called “Building Blocks of Christianity” and it is meant to draw from scripture Truths that will sharpen our picture of bedrock foundations in our faith. We hope this series will both enlighten and encourage you and will invite you to consider following Jesus more closely. We are starting with “Who is God?”
