Update about January 11 Worship Service

As mentioned last Sunday in our worship service, this Sunday, January 11, we will be sharing the vision, situation, and challenge for our building expansion campaign. This campaign, entitled “Above and Beyond,” will call us to enter a time of prayer, discernment, and commitment for this important building expansion project. Due to the sensitive nature of some of the details being shared, we will only livestream the first half of the worship service. The remainder of the service will be recorded, and a link will be sent out early next week for your viewing. We believe this decision helps us to best reflect our desire to present and handle this information with clarity and consistency.
