At 275 feet tall, the General Sherman tree is the largest tree in the world. This tree is roughly 2,200 years old, over 36 feet in diameter, and is estimated to weigh nearly 2 million pounds. You would think with such an impressive height, its roots would go very deep. However, that is not the case.
We invite all to join together for our church-wide Lenten study. Our book study will be “John: The Gospel of Light and Life” by Adam Hamilton, starting the week of February 21st. The Gospel of John is the most spiritual of the four gospels. It is filled with rich images and profound truths, but John notes that his aim in writing the gospel is that readers will not only believe in Jesus Christ, but that they “may have life in his name.” It is a great book for a Lenten Study!
There was a time in Egypt when the Hebrew people were rising too high in numbers, so in order to deal with this problem, the Pharaoh decided to kill the oldest son in each Hebrew family. One brave mother refused to let her son go. Join Pastor Hannah this Sunday when we learn about Jochebed and what makes her a hero.
