“Glorifying God and Making Disciples Who Witness and Serve”
SUNDAY WORSHIP
This Week’s Service
We invite you to join us this Sunday, February 9, as we continue our sermon series on hearing God’s voice with the message “Hearing is Believing.” Our scripture readings, Isaiah 6:1-8 and Luke 5:1-11, reveal how God calls ordinary people—like Isaiah and the disciples—to follow in faith, even when the path ahead is uncertain.
God’s voice directs us, calling us beyond our doubts and fears into lives of purpose and discipleship. How do we respond when God calls? What does it mean to say, “Here I am, send me”? Together, we will reflect on what it means to trust, listen, and step forward in faith.
Come as you are, and let us worship together, listening for the ways God is still speaking to us today. We look forward to seeing you!
