Beginning at the End

The Book of Revelatio

in 2014 As we usher in the new year, you

invited to worship with us as we

“begin at the end” with the last b

in the Bible: the book of Revelatio

Often confusing and ambiguous, book of Revelation is often assoc

ed with its terrifying visions and d

scriptions of “the end.” But it is

really a book of new beginnings, a

the perfect way to bring in 2014, a

 we together celebrate God’s visio

for our future and our present. E

plore together with us as we begin

the new year celebrating the grace

God!
