THE SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2026
Preacher | Rev. Dr. Layne Smith
Sermon | Can You See and Hear?
Scripture | 1 Samuel 3:1-13
Worship Guide will be available the Thursday before.
In a world that rarely slows down, it takes intention to truly listen. Samuel shows us that hearing God isn’t about having all the answers. It begins with stillness, openness, and a willingness to listen for something beyond ourselves. This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Layne Smith invites us to reflect on what it means to listen with faith.
Join us for worship at 10 a.m. in person or online.
