New Sermon Series: Enough. Discovering Joy through Simplicity and Generosity

Be honest: when was the last time you felt like you had enough? Enough money, enough time, enough margin to breathe?

So much around us whispers that a little more will finally do it, and somehow more never quite does. Over four weeks this fall, we’ll step off that treadmill together and listen again to what Jesus and Scripture teach about money, contentment, and generosity. We may discover that a good life is not built by always reaching for more, but by learning what it means to have enough.

Come as you are and bring a friend. There's a place for you here.


Discover the Joy of Enough - Small Group Bible Study Oct-Nov
