This Sunday

9:30am

Contagious Faith

Lower Auditorium Room 13

As disciples of Christ, we are called to share the gospel, but few of us are naturally comfortable with evangelism. We wrestle with internal fears, a lack of preparation, and the sense that reaching out to others might force us to act like someone we’re not. What if we could find a way to talk about Jesus that fits our personalities, makes us feel confident, and ignites a fire in others? Learn more.

GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief.
