Deacon – Led Worship on February 14th
While Valentine’s Day is held annually to celebrate romantic love and affection, as a church, we are called to love one another. In our church, our deacons serve as the pastoral and practical care leaders of our church, working with our entire community to ensure that all are loved.
This year, Valentine’s Day also falls on the same day as the church holiday Transfiguration Sunday, which celebrates a miracle of Jesus revealing the glory of God revealed to humankind in a real and powerful way. Please join the deacons for a powerful worship service celebrating the care-giving and love that our church can show one another to reveal God’s glory to all.
