Sunday Service // 15 Days of Change: Popcorn and Pearls // November 22, 2020

Pastor Andy and Christy Cass Change or be changed... As our normal has been disrupted once again, there is no better time to address our habits, structures, and systems to make positive steps in our lives. Pastor Andy and Christy Cass lean into Jesus' teachings in Matthew to inspire us to follow God as he makes steams in our wasteland.
