There Are No Add-ons!

This Sunday we will launch into our new conversation “Losing My Religion” with a message called “There Are No Add-ons”  In the Bible, the letter to the Hebrews is an incredible, powerful and creative offering helping us see there is a better way.  This weekend we will navigate through the first four verses. In many ways the these verses outline everything else that follows in the letter. So if you are ready to experience God and lose some religious baggage come and join me this Sunday at SVA @ 9 or 11!

here is an outline for Sunday:  conversation one: there-are-no-add-ons
