If you have peace in your own heart, you will be able to offer peace to others. You will do more good with your peace than with years of education. When your passions dominate, you believe the worst about others and easily turn good into evil. But, if peace reigns in your heart, you can turn everything into good. - Thomas a'Kempis

Why is it that we continue to miss the mark after we become Jesus followers and are set free from the power of sin? Is there a difference between choosing to ignore God's will, slipping into old sinful habits, and making a mistake? What does the new life that we are set free into look like? Join us for worship Sunday morning at 10:45 am as we take a look at these questions and more, continuing our reflections on the Book of Romans with chapter 6:1-11 and Matthew 10:24-39. Bring a friend!

Perichoresis-- it is the Greek word used to describe the relationship between the triune God-- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It refers to the divine dance that expresses the divine love, and intimacy of God in three persons. In that divine dance God invites his people to participate and calls us to invite others to join in the ever-widening circle of celebration. Join us tomorrow at 10:45 a.m. as we worship and join together with God in the divine perichoresis. It will be a good old fashioned hoedown!
