Join us on March 30 at the 9 am worship service as Rev. Dr. Craig Alwin shares the sermon “The Gift of Grace.” Here are a few awareness questions to consider for this Sunday’s sermon.
- What implications would requesting an inheritance have on the relationship between a parent and child?
- Have you ever felt so desperate that you were willing to do anything?
- Could you tell a story about a time when you had to admit you were very wrong?
- What story would you tell if someone asked if you have ever encountered God’s compassion?
You can view the bulletin here.
