WELCOME Pastor Ted Wright

 

CALL TO WORSHIP John 14:1-3

 

Jesus said: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.

Believe in God; believe also in me.

In my Father’s house are many dwelling places.

If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place?

And if I go and prepare a place for you,

I will come again, and I will take you to myself;

So that where I am, there you may be also…

No one comes to the Father except through me.”
