Sunday, August 20

10:45 Traditional Worship
Scripture: Genesis 28:10-17
Sermon: Journey through Genesis:An Unexpected Dream, An Undeserved Grace
Who hasn’t run away from home? We all do, eventually, in some fashion. Jacob is running away from his brother’s anger and maybe from himself, too.

To worship online live Sundays at 9:00 and 10:45 or recorded: go to www.Christ-Pres.Church
and click Watch Worship, then click the service you would like to attend.
