Worship with Us!
Sunday, April 14, 2024
8:30 am or 10:00 am (Sunday School at 10:00 am)
Testimonies of Faith- Arnold Schertzer, MaryBeth Taylor
Scripture: Luke 24: 13-35
They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?” That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They were saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!” Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
Get Involved!
Come to Bible Study! You are cordially invited to our weekly Bible Study, held every Thursday at the church from 10 am to 11 am, where we examine the scriptures for the coming Sunday. This Sunday, we will reflect on a passage from Mark 8, where Jesus teaches us the paradox of gaining life by giving it up for His sake and the gospel.
