WE ARE HAPPY THAT YOU CHOSE TO

WORSHIP WITH US TODAY

Every Sunday morning people of various

cultures join together in churches around

the world to worship Christ. Today is no dif-

ferent and we are glad you chose to

worship with us. Jesus is the only person

who deserves our praise, honor and atten-

tion in worship. Each service strives to have

something that relates to all generations,

whether it’s the music, the message, or the

atmosphere of acceptance. Multiple fea-

tures are required to comprise a modern

worship service; the important part is you.

Jesus is ready to participate, but we must

allow Him access to our hearts. We hope you

will take advantage of this eternal moment.
