Week of 1/17/2025
NEW WORSHIP SONG
Our church's focus in 2025 is PRAYER. It is easy to ask God for what we want, but so much harder, yet so much more rewarding to surrender to His will, trusting that He has a plan for us that is greater, and infinitely better than any plan we could ever have for ourselves. Not our will Lord, but Yours be done.
