New Sermon Series - CALM
| We begin a new sermon series on Feb. 9, exploring the resources of our faith to bring calm in an anxious world. One of the things I do to help me maintain calm is to find pictures on my phone's camera roll that bring me peace. I snapped this picture after having breakfast with a friend. |
| She showed up with these flowers cut from her backyard and placed them on our table while we ate. After breakfast, she handed them to me as a gift. Before I got in my car, I took a picture as a reminder of what simple things can bring me joy. Do you have pictures on your camera roll that bring you calm? I invite you to send them to me. Many of you have my cell phone number. You can text me your favorite pictures or email them to me. I want to see what you've seen that brought you calm. I look forward to this journey of faith in the coming sermon series. - Pastor Charla |

Serving Hungry Hearts
