Today's Sermon + Scripture
Scripture: John 16:12-15
I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Sermon: “A Beautiful Mystery: Why the Trinity Matters”
Rev. Brady Whitton , Senior Pastor

Love Your Neighbor Van Needs Help!
Since January 26, our Love Your Neighbor Van has departed our church every Sunday at 8:30 AM to serve Baton Rouge's unhoused neighbors facing food insecurity. The van makes several stops to offer hot coffee, warm breakfast burritos, PB&J sandwiches, fruit, healthy snacks, and bottled water. We also provide new socks, t-shirts, first aid, and other supplies, such as tennis shoes, clothing, and hygiene items. Each week, we serve about 55 people, and our numbers are growing as our friends spread the word that we are trustworthy and caring!
