Your Glimpse for Sunday’s Message

Jesus is not physically present in the world today. Or is he? How is Jesus physically present in the world today? More importantly, how well is Jesus’ presence being experienced in our world today? Let’s talk about it this Sunday.

Score some condensed soup for Souper Bowl Sunday to feed kids of End 68.

The Super Bowl will be here before you know it. While we all enjoy the pricey commercials and the big game, some children here in Tampa who are served by End 68 Hours of Hunger will not be lucky enough to have a get-together or extra snacks. Let’s help warm their winter by collecting soup. Think of soups kids would love to eat (not cream soup) and condensed like Campbell’s so it isn’t so heavy. Bring your soup with you on Souper Bowl Sunday, Feb. 9 … to church or to the party!

“Whither Thou Goest: Ruth Finds Love in a Barley Field”, Sun. Feb. 2
