News and Current Events

Offering Ourselves To God
When we come to Church, we offer God three things: our "time," an hour and a half-of our "talent," our abilities to pray, praise, sing, worship, and our "money." God accepts these, because God wants not our gifts, but us as givers. God wants us. We are the living sacrifice.
