What Do You Believe In?
Jennifer Bacmeister, Worship Leader
Eileen Morrison, Accompanist
Timothy Edwards, Violin, Special Music
We all receive messages throughout our lives…messages from others…from things that happen. But the meaning that WE give those messages can define who we are and what we think of ourselves. Frequently we aren’t even aware of those things we internalized long ago, but they still drive us today. Can we overcome it? That depends on what you believe in. Let’s explore this together.
