ANNOUNCEMENTS

AUGUST SERIES // So This is Love (1st, 2nd and 3rd John). John continued to write letters to the churches, encouraging the followers of Jesus to love each other. But it isn’t always easy for us to discern what truly loving can look like when we are surrounded by so many counterfeits. To perfectly love each other in a community might be the hardest and greatest thing we can seek to accomplish in our lifetime. So John, we’re all ears, tell us how!
