CONNECTING OUR COMMUNITY OF CULTURES INTO KINSHIP WITH JESUS
Summer Sermon Series
Our summer sermon series, “The Fruit of the Spirit,” invites us to consider how the Holy Spirit is at work transforming our human spirits and how we can open ourselves to experience that transformation in more powerful ways. We will work together to memorize Galatians 5:22-23a: By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
