This is the sermon from 10:30 am morning worship on August 13, 2017. On this day, we celebrated the birth of three babies into our community of faith, and also mourned the violence in Charlottesville, VA earlier that weekend. The video begins with a prayer and then moves into a sermon based on Matthew 14:13-21.

Scott Turner, one the members of our evening worship leadership team, preached at 5pm. Scott’s sermon was not taped, but you can read his sermon manuscript here.
