Sunday Worship, Jan. 29

One of the hotly debated topics at the crossroads between spiritual and secular life is whether God exists.

Does God exist?

Inquiring minds want to know!

For most of us, that answer is clear. We know that God exists. That's why we come to worship, study the Scriptures, and pray. 

But this week's Scripture asks a different question...

"Why do we exist?" 

Why do we exist? Read 1 Corinthians 8:1-6 and join us for worship this Sunday.

As Disciples of Christ we proclaim that we are followers of the examples and instructions that Christ has given us.

Steven Baines, vice-moderator of the congregation and assistant field agent for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. We are grateful for Rev.
