We as humans are in constant need of grace. No one could have predicted the strange reality that 2020 has brought. As such, we appreciate your grace in dealing with the “patchwork” nature of this sermon series. The word of the year for many has been “flexibility.” As such, we as a church had to “flex” frequently and change the format and media used to deliver consistent messages throughout this series. The following archive is our best effort to make it all easily accessible all in one place:
During the initial weeks of quarantine we were doing daily “mini-devotions” with longer messages on Sundays:
