Christian Church
Howard Reiter gave the Communion Meditation on Ecclesiastes 9:11-12, reminding us that tragedy can strike at any time. We need to always remember not to lean on our own strength and understanding, but on Gods. Pastor Chase Riebel gave the sermon on week five of Believe series: Identity in Christ, asking Who am I? God identifies us as his own, placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts.
