IS CHRIST DIVIDED?
Join us this Sunday as we continue our BUILT DIFFERENT series through 1 Corinthians. In a world that constantly gives us reasons to divide, Paul calls the Church to remember what—and Who—holds us together. We will examine how division takes root in our hearts and why the Cross brings us back to what matters most. Come discover what it means to be a Church united around Jesus.
Join us at Tompkins High School at 10:00 am. The link to watch LIVE is on our YouTube Channel. You can go to our home page on our website or our App to connect.
This week's order of worship can be found here!
God bless,
Pastor Scott
