And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened.

From The Pastor’s Desk – Rev. Stout

Teen Talk

Teen Talk is back on Sunday mornings starting on September 18 at 9:15 am. This is our own time to dig deeper into our faith. It’s not just another “Sunday School class” or Bible Study. It’s all about us – who we are, what’s happening in our lives right here and now, and how does […]

I will still be involved with […]
