Grace and peace as we continue to celebrate the resurrection in this season of Easter, may you continue to experience God's inexhaustible love.
During the weekend, we invite you to join us in worship in the sanctuary or online. Our Sixth Sunday of Easter worship begins at 9:30 am with Sunday Meditations with Rev. Dr. Shively Smith and Dr. Dana Williams at 9 am.
During the week, Morning Meditations with Metropolitan continue at 7 am Monday through Friday, Men's Prayer Call at 7:30 am on Monday, and Noonday and Pastor’s Study at noon and 7 pm continue on Wednesday.
