FROM SHADOW TO SUBSTANCE: WHERE HEAVEN MEETS EARTH
For Lent this year we are turning back to the book of Exodus and considering God’s instructions for the tabernacle. This building was designed by God as a place where He could meet His people and dwell in their midst—the first such place since the Garden of Eden and the Fall. The tabernacle functions in several ways: it echoes Eden, it is a shadow of a heavenly reality, and it points ahead to the work and ministry of Jesus and His church. Through this study, I hope we will all come to see the beauty of this part of the Scriptures, how great the work of Christ and His redemption are, and raise our eyes to the heavens in worship.~ Pastor Bryan

• We planned for pledge cards and one or more offerings to fund the renovations.

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for the prayer retreat. It was truly encouraging to spend the afternoon in prayer and fellowship together. Stepping into something new is always an adventure, and your openness and participation made it a blessing for us all. ~Pastor Bryan
