March 29, 2026 from 10:30 - 11:30am EDT

A Service of Expectation March 29 10:30AM United Worship As we enter Holy Week, we remember that expectation often reveals what is truly in our hearts. Like Peter, we can be confident in our devotion yet falter when tested. This service invites us to lay down pride and self-reliance and to humbly depend on Christ. His grace is greater than our failures, and His faithfulness never wavers.

Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, He secures forgiveness, the Holy Spirit, and eternal life for all who trust in Him. Because God has said “I WILL,” the question becomes: will we seek Him, believe Him, and follow Him?
