Methodist church to begin sermon series
The First United Methodist Church, 2917 Aspen Drive, will introduce a new sermon series today and Sunday called “The Seven Deadly Sins.”
This seven-week series will explore each of the seven sins and what can make them so insidious in people’s daily lives. While looking at the sins, sermons will look at the steps people can take to avoid them and break free of their destructive grip. Worship services are held at 5:30 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Sunday.
