9 AM SUNDAY WORSHIP | MARCH 20. Our families can teach us a lot about ‘tough love’. Being a part of a family often requires loving those who drive us nuts, and enduring hardships together in a way that’s totally unique from any other type of relationship in our lives. After having explored what it means to love God and love our neighbors, this week Tara Farrell brings a message that explores Jesus’ new commandment of “love one another”. We discuss why this can be the most challenging (and rewarding!) type of love and why it’s vitally important to the family of Christ. Please join us Sunday at 9 a.m. for worship. If you are unable to gather with us in person, please join us online!
