🌟🌟🌟SonShine Sunday 🌟🌟🌟
Wear your brightest summer colors and join us on this Cheerful Sunday Morning
Sermon: Shining the Light of Christ!
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:1-10, Matthew 5:13-20
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. “ – Jesus from Matthew
Submit Prayer Requests: Please submit prayer requests here or call Pastor John 508-451-5858 or MaryAnne Farley (774) 487-0719
