From Our Pastor

If there was ever a day that gives us hope, it is resurrection Sunday!  In fact, every Sunday is a celebration of the empty tomb!  A celebration that Jesus is alive!
 
It’s the empty tomb of Jesus that gives us HOPE.  Hope in the here-and-now and hope in the here-after.  The HOPE of forgiveness.  The HOPE of peace.  The HOPE of Heaven.
 
With your HOPE in the resurrected Jesus, you can make it!  And that HOPE is centered in the person of Jesus Christ.
