Plan now to join us for our 12^th annual Leadership Forum.  T. David Gordon, this year’s guest lecturer, will be with us to speak (tentatively) about the idea of “temple” in redemptive history, in eschatology, and in Christian worship.  It’s sure to be an enjoyable, challenging weekend of learning and application.

Get the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devices.  Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help.  If yours isn’t working properly, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.
