The Bible Year Updates - God’s Favorite Playlist 


In May, we will be reading through the Psalms. The Psalms are the songs ancient Israel used to worship God—formally and informally, as assemblies and as individuals. The Psalter is divided into five books, each with a wide collection of authors, that speak to the wide range of emotions within the human experience. 



May Bookmarks are available in the Church Office and in our Worship spaces!
