“Feeding Our Souls” (10:30 AM Blended)

Text: Matthew 11:28-30 Throughout this series, we have focused thus far on our thoughts, our hearts, and our relationships.  Now we turn to turn to Jesus’ promise that “all who are weary and burdened” (and who isn’t?) will find rest for our souls in him.  How is Jesus, the Bread of Life, feeding our souls and bringing about this rest for us and is it perhaps right in front of us in ways that we fail to recognize?

“Hope” (10:30 AM Blended)

Text: Isaiah 64:1-9 When we light a candle, we say “no” to the darkness: this is the essence of hope.
