JULY SERMON SERIES: HYMNS FOR LIFE
Each Sunday during the month of July, there will be a central hymn guiding our worship service as we explore the
scripture, theology and story behind it. As people of faith, we connect to scripture, God and the world in powerful
ways through music. We are calling them hymns for life, four hymns that powerfully express our beliefs,
because they are rich in meaning and even guide our lives in times of joy or struggle, the tune and words
flowing from the depths of our soul.
And then the last Sunday of the month, July 30th, we will have a hymn sing in place of the sermon. The top favorite
hymns will be woven through the service between liturgy and prayers.
