Sermons
Since our Pastor is half time, he preaches two or more sermons a month. The rest of the Sunday sermons are provided by members of our own congregation. The sermons are timely, helpful, and always interesting. Plus, we send them out to those on our e-list, so everyone gets to enjoy them, whether they were able to attend or not.
Here are some links to recent sermons in PDF format.
