Hey! Are you in need of forgiving someone? Over and over again? How many times are we supposed to forgive someone who keeps wronging us. In Matthew 18:21-35 Jesus tells us 70 x 7.

In the morning, that will be the message Dr. Arun Paul will talk to us about. What does Jesus mean by 70x 7? How do we forgive like Jesus forgave us?

We begin worship at 9:30 am. Tomorrow if you come about 10 mintues early you'll hear our bell choir playing the prelude.

We'd love to have you worship with us. It is also the day for communion. Join us at the Lord's table. We have an open table to those who repent of their sin, desire to draw near to God, and strive to live a life of obedience to Christ. Our consecreated elements are gluten-free and alcohol free.

Achored Kids had their end of the year celebration program on Wednesday evening. They sang, prayed, read Scripture and even recited all of the Ten Commandments. Afterwards they served cookies to all in attendance. It was a blessed Holy Spirit filled evening. Many recordings and photos to follow.

Join us tomorrow at 9:30 am for a message of hope. When we think we aren't good enough or we have denied Jesus one too many times, there is hope. Peter denied Jesus three times but Jesus comes after his resurrection to restore Peter. He will come to restore you too.

Dr. Arun Paul's message of restoration is from John 21:4-19 in his sermon entitles "At Breakfast With Jesus: Peter Restored". This is a message for all of us. We'd love to see you. Come as you are.

Palm Sunday is always a wonderful celebration as we remember Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Join us as we declare
"Hosanna in the highest!" Yes, we too will wave palm branches.

We always begin worship at 9:30 am with the ringing of our bell as a call to worship. And a reminder to all who hear that Jesus is Lord!

Pastor, Dr. Arun Paul's message is from Matthew 21:1-17, which he titled "Love That is Courageous".
