Title:  Living Stones in a Spiritual House
Scripture: 1 Peter 2

Pastor Sawyer's sermon at the morning worship service expounded upon Christ as the cornerstone of God's spiritual house, the church, and how its occupants are "a royal priesthood, a holy nation" with the purpose of building on that foundation to be united to Christ.  For a recording of this week's sermon, contact the church secretary.

This evening's sermon is entitled "How to Inherit a Blessing" and will focus on 1 Peter 3.  We would love to have you join us.
