Life After Resurrection

Resurrection isn't just to be remembered and celebrated once a year. Instead, its truth is to be a continual reminder to examine how our lives are being formed. Join us this week as we look at how we can embody the truth of resurrection throughout the entire year and what the resurrection of Jesus communicates about our lives and all creation.
