During Sunday's sermon Rev. Derek Zeyl reminds us that the real question isn't 'How do I get God to move faster?' It's 'How do I wait well?' Because God's nature isn't hurried, and the most significant moments of your life happen while you wait.

Join us on Sunday as we continue exploring what it means to trust God's timing and learn how to wait well with faith and hope.
