"Come see how we are each being called to serve Christ in new and wonderful ways!"
The foundation of our faith is Jesus Christ. Scripture readings are an important part of our worship services, daily devotionals, and education as we come to know Him.
The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-15; Luke 11:2-4), is the prayer given to the disciples by Christ and used by Christ. This is the prayer that we say before the Eucharist.
