Join us on March 27 & 28 at 7:00 pm in the Church, with a Social/Reception in the Faith & Family Center at 8:30 pm each evening!

We Become What We Receive.

What does it mean to become what we receive, to become Christ? It means becoming people who love, who pray, who serve -- who sacrifice. Deacon Greg's talks give concrete examples and ideas for incorporating that into daily life. It's a message of inspiration and hope.
