THE SUNDAY, MAY 24, 2026
Preaching | Rev. Dr. Layne Smith
Sermon | "How Will Myers Park Measure Success?"
Scripture | John 12:20-33
Worship Guide will be available on Thursday.
How do we measure success?
Not by numbers or recognition, but by daily faithfulness. By the quiet choices to follow, trust, and love, even when the impact isn’t visible.
This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Layne Smith invites us to rethink success through the lens of faith.
As we celebrate Pentecost and mark Rev. Dr. Layne Smith’s final Sunday preaching with us, we gather with gratitude for his leadership and hope for what’s ahead.
