History is God’s story of creation and restoration. The world is broken. We broke it and keep breaking it. But God has promised to put it and us back together. Though fallen, we are greatly loved. We are loved enough that God enters history as a man to alter our story to change our destiny. We pray your heart will be captivated and shaped by Jesus’ mission to make you and all things new. Sat. March 04. Go out and LOVE our community: EAT LOCAL!
