Sunday Preview (November 6, 2022)
Matthew 5:8 | The pure in heart! What does it mean to be ‘pure’? In many Christian circles that word carries some heavy implications. Perfection, innocence, sinless. But is that what Jesus expects of us? Or is there a different way to understand this complex idea.
Also! We have a new guest worship leader joining us this week. Lauren Rotach will be with us this Sunday. She is an incredibly kind, thoughtful, loving, and talented artist. I’m excited for us to worship with her.
