March 2 Worship with Communion-Transfiguration of the Lord Sunday

Join us on March 2 at the 9 am worship service with communion as Rev. Dr. Craig Alwin shares the sermon “Listen to Him.” Here are some questions to ponder for this Sunday’s sermon.

  • What is the significance of Moses and Elijah appearing with Jesus?
  • What does it mean to listen to the Son?
  • How would you describe our congregation’s identity?
  • What theological statement is our congregation making in its practices?

God’s Word is Proclaimed
