Rev. Julie Schendel's Sermon Series During Lent
During the season of Lent, we invite you to connect in a deeper way through worship and study. Pastor Julie will preach a sermon series on compassion based on Rev. Ron Greer's book "The Path of Compassion: Living with Heart, Soul, and Mind." Join us as we search the scriptures and learn how to care more deeply for one another. If you would like to follow along, books are available on Amazon.
