3. Wednesday, March 2 - Family Worship Night – New Series “Counter the Culture.”

What does God's Word say about how we should live, be, and act in a world that is counter to God's teaching? God calls us to be different... different than the world around us - salt and light in a world that is harsh and unforgiving. Ye are the salt of the earth. Ye are the light of the world. Matthew 5:13- 14.
