SERMON SERIES
A YEAR LONG STUDY OF ROMANS
Dear Church,
This Sunday as we celebrate Palm Sunday, we will finish the section of Romans that we have been in for the last 6 weeks. As we celebrate Jesus coming into Jerusalem riding on a donkey, we will be reminded, as Paul explains, that God’s purpose in sending Christ was to have mercy on those who are disobedient, and in so doing, effectively banishing ungodliness from his people. Praise be to God for what he has accomplished in us through Jesus Christ! I am so thankful to be able to worship with you all this Sunday!
Peace,
Pastor Jeff

CELEBRATION OF HOPE ANNUAL BENEFIT DINNER
A great time was had by all as a good representation from our GE Covenant congregation joined a full ballroom (at least 1,000 people in attendance) to hear key updates regarding support for recently resettled families at a critical time. They heard refugees' stories of courage and resilience from fleeing war to building new lives with the help of Exodus volunteers.
