Worship Gathering - The Cross #1

Focus this Sunday:
This Sunday, ​we begin a new sermon series in preparation for Holy Week. A visit to a church supplies store or website presents us with a choice of crosses: with or without the body of Christ. For Jesus, there was no choice. His cross was by necessity, with his own body. Jesus’s body was the means of our salvation. This series will help us understand the significance of the crucifixion and specifically His wounds. What was accomplished through Christ’s death? What does God have to say to you in this?

We will also be taking Communion. If you are participating online, please have your elements ready near the end of the service.

Join us Sunday at 10:30am either onsite or online! The link to the online service is on our website at (www.emmettnaz.org) and click on the Link to the Service.
