Christian Church
Howard Reiter gave the communion meditation Sunday from 1 Kings 19:1-7, reminding us that Satan wants to keep us in a hope-starved condition, so keep your hope in God. Pastor Chase Riebel gave the sermon on week 5 of the Believe series: The Church. Acts 1:14-15 tells us to meet together and be in constant prayer. The church isnt the building, but the people. We must go out into the world and share Gods gift of grace.
