Sunday Worship Preview - November 20


Sunday, November 20 - (8:15 A.M. & 11:00 A.M. Traditional Services & 9:45 A.M. Praise Service) & Wednesday, November 23  (6:30 P.M. Casual Service @ Crossroads, 2095 Fair Avenue)

Sermon - "From Rags to Riches"

Features - Christ the King/Thanksgiving Sunday, Holy Baptism & Receiving of New Members

Scripture - Ephesians 1:15-23 & Matthew 25:31-46

Theme - On this Sunday of the church year when we celebrate the reign of Christ (Christ the King Sunday) we also celebrate God’s blessings in our lives (Thanksgiving.)  In Ephesians, Paul helps us to see how these two themes beautifully come together  when he writes, “so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints.”
