Our theme this Fall begins with Upon This Rock.
From Psalm 18: 1-2 (NRSV)
I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer,
my God, my rock in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
From Matthew 16:18 (The Message)
And now I'm going to tell you who you are, you really are. You are Peter, a rock. This is the rock on which I will put together my church, a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out.
