IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Sunday Sermon: The Rev. Canon Leonard Hamlin Sr.

"It is in this season that we’re invited to embrace a bold vision, a bold faith that gives us the ability to run ahead of our circumstances, to run ahead of the moment, to get ahead of our fear, to get ahead of what looks dark, to be light along the path and the road for others. It is the time right now to check and see how far we may be drifting, to look, to listen, and most of all to do."
