You will be able to experience the love of God the Father, and be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live as God’s children. If you are insterested in joining, please sign up or contact Joyce Bustamante at joyceb@sheartchurch.org
The Search
Sometimes we get so caught up in the depth of our faith that we forget what it was like to first wrestle with the big questions – Who am I? What am I searching for? What’s our shared story? Who is Jesus? Why do we need a Church? Is there a God? We all need to get back to the basics to make sure the foundation is strong.
We are excited to introduce The Search, a new seven part Augustine Institute Original Series with the goal of lighting that first fire in those who don’t yet know the faith or reigniting the fire in those who need a primer on the foundational questions. This program will be for 18-25 year olds -including college students- which will be offered every Monday at 7 p.m. Please sign up to be notified of when this program will begin.
Prayer List
Please continue to pray for the spiritual and physical health of these brothers and sisters in Christ.
