LOOKING TOWARD SUNDAY: A MESSAGE FROM REV. HORTON
Dear friends,
We will meet this Sunday at Wildcat Mountain for our annual time of Fellowship, Worship, and Food. As we continue sermon series, “Identify Yourself,” we will look at the ways this picnic has shaped us over the years, and how it points us to identify our next step in God’s future. Now more than ever, we need this picnic, this time away together to help us re-connect with one another. I look forward to seeing you.
Elizabeth
