We were reminded on Sunday that the best gift from God is His Son and the gift of God's grace, which is free and can't be earned by observing the Law. We are encouraged to accept what Jesus has done for us and to keep living by the gospel
Sunday saw the start of a new sermon series on Paul's letter to the Galatians with a message about God's grace and trust in the Good News. Check our website, newesheet and calendar for ways you might connect with that this week.
