"The Church in the Wilderness" (Lent 2013)
From the center of town to the outskirts of society. The American Church has experienced some radical changes over the past 60 years. Many churchgoers have deep feelings of frustration, anxiety, and helplessness as we try to live out our faith. During Lent, we will journey with the Israelites through the wilderness, and hopefully catch a glimpse of hope in what God is doing during this "wilderness" time.
