Be\nenergized by the Word of God\, lively music\, and other artistic expressions.

SUMMARY:Fourth Sunday After Pentecost Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:God’s mission of love and justice conflicts with cultural norms\, causing division and conflict. The\nAncient prophets experienced the challenge of delivering God’s word in the midst of defiance.\nJesus calls us to be His disciples and to persevere despite opposition as well\, and assures us that\ndespite the challenges of being His disciples\, we need not be afraid. “Do not be afraid; you are\nworth more than many sparrows.” God is always with us\, a mighty warrior for righteousness.\nCome and be renewed in hope and faith as we focus on what it means to be a disciple today. Our\ngreat choir will be singing “Here I Am\, Lord.” Be renewed\, be inspired\, be Spirit-filled!
