WELCOME! We are glad you’ve joined us in worship today of our abundantly generous God. Today Pastor Scott continues a 4-part series focused on generosity. Five-day devotionals based on this week’s sermon are available in the back of church. All are invited to stay after worship and visit over refreshments.
