18 April 2021
Speaker: The Rev. Nathan Stomberg
Topic: Easter, Fellowship, Light, Truth
When we choose to walk in the light, and not in darkness, we experience deeper fellowship with God and each other. And even in the smallest choices of daily life, we must decide between living in the Truth, or living in darkness. In Christ, we are assured that a Light will always shine in the darkness, and the darkness will not overcome it.
