Latest Sermon

This Sunday we continue our Lenten series, Tell Me Something Good: Grounding Ourselves in the Good News. Our focus this week is "Protection and Care for the Vulnerable," drawing from Deuteronomy 24: 17–22, where the people of God are reminded not to deprive the foreigner, the orphan, or the widow of justice, and to leave "the edges of the field" for those in need.
