Join us in worship as we lift our voices in praise to the Lord God Almighty. Let His mighty works be declared and His kingdom established through our praises. May our hearts be changed to be like Him, and may we draw close to Him always. This service includes scripture readings, a sermon, musical offerings, and a special litany for our grandparents.
