“Worship As Witness”-Psalm 29 & Ephesians 5:15-20
Dr. Robbie Castleman, author, mother of two and Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies and Theology at John Brown University, will be speaking at all worship services next Sunday, August 17th. Her message will help us see how the worship of God’s people can be a profound witness in an uncertain and threatening world. She will also deal with the question, “Why is worship not just another “church program” intended to feed the flock?” Her book, “Parenting in the Pew,” will also be for sale.
