June 13 & 14, 2026 

Romans 5:8 ‘ “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

God did not wait for mankind to make the first move. He did not wait for Adam and Eve to come looking for Him – He went and found them. And while we were still sinners, still enemies of God, still set against Him, God looked on us with kindness and generosity, and so loved us that He sent His Son Jesus to suffer, die and rise for us. We now seek to grow up into His image as loving, generous and kind children of our Heavenly Father.
