 In the Message interpretation of the Bible, Romans 8:39 reads: “I’m absolutely convinced that nothing…absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love.” (emphasis added)
Paul wrote his letter to the church at Rome in a difficult time of political upheaval. The community of Christians were facing some intense challenges. Paul encourages the church then – and now – to maintain hope. We are living in a challenging time, as well. But we must maintain hope that – no matter what we are going through – God’s love is steadfast.

Worship will be available on our YouTube channel beginning at 10:30AM. Sing along with the hymns and take part in the service with the virtual bulletin here.
