There is a river (Psalm 46:4) that brings delight to the people of God. Jesus invites us to dive in and drink deeply of life and blessing. In a world full of chaos, distraction, and disappointment, Jesus is providing all that our souls need to be fully whole and brimming with robust life, but how do we walk with him in this confusing time?
Join us as we accept his invitation and prepare ourselves to receive the insatiable kindness of our King.
