You Asked for It! - Summer Worship Series - 10:00 a.m. We have begun a summer worship series entitled, “You Asked for It!” A couple of months ago, we asked you to suggest a title for one of our summer sermons—and the response was incredible. Your church staff had a difficult time selecting just 12 from all of the suggestions. As you will see from the list below, many of the sermon titles reflect what we have all encountered during the pandemic. The preacher was responsible for picking a text for each title, so it will be interesting to see where he/she goes with it. Join us each week either in-person or by livestreaming.
