Coming up Sunday:
On this Fourth Sunday of Lent we continue our Lenten series called Prayer Power with a message titled A House Under New Management. Pastor Derek will use 1 John 4:4-5 to show us that when we allow God into our lives, we force the evil that haunts us to leave and then we can focus on where our joy comes from - God.
