SABBATH MORNING WORSHIP
9:00 a.m. & 11:30 a.m. WORSHIP - IN PERSON and ONLINE - Pastor Tara VinCross
Pastor Tara VinCross shares the sermon this week in our series, Unlikely Heroes: Stories from the Book of Judges. Together we will look at the story of Samson, whose story is found in Judges 13 - 16. In the dramatic, sometimes disturbing scenes in Judges, we see a God who is ready to save, who leans in close to our need. God chooses the leaders that we may not have picked, and God still does this today.
