We are in Luke 9 and are looking at the question on everybody’s lips: “Who is Jesus?” Don’t forget your homework assignment: Does the Old Testament teach (or hint) about a “suffering” Messiah? If so, where?  It’s a great time to join us—and find out!

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.
