Assurance in God’s Presence

This evening’s service focuses on the comforting text of Psalm 63 and the promise of God’s love and eternal changelessness. As we navigate the day-to-day changes of our current world, the church stands ready to grow and adapt to whatever the future holds through God’s grace. Music will be provided by Naomi Barrett (soprano), Carrie Staiger (alto), Benjamin Sobel (tenor), and Scott Fikse (bass) accompanied by Mark Wong and guest violinist Duane Padilla.
