“To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God. To open the heart to the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God.”
— William Temple
1881-1944

Inviting to the Table

|
Scriptures:
|
Luke 24:13-49

|
Description:
|
Jesus desires to walk alongside each of us, whether we recognize his presence at first or not. On this journey he invites us to ask questions, grow and learn, do life together, and break bread. The great hope is that we will eventually know Jesus fully, and then carry his presence into the lives of others.

Scriptures:

John 20:19-31

Scriptures:
|
Acts 4:1-31 (read by 4 readers before message)
