In 1942, C.S. Lewis wrote a satirical novel in the form of letters from a senior demon, Screwtape, to his nephew Wormwood on the ways and means of tempting flawed and often hypocritical humanity away from the faith.
It’s 2017 and Screwtape has returned. You do not want to miss this service.

Younger children and nursery tots will enjoy a movie in the High School room with Katie Allen and Grant Upton.

Rev. Jeter says:
“We will speak on the change that occurred with Saul on the Damascus Road, and how we need that change today, from the crisis in Flint, to the controversy surrounding removal of the monuments, and other issues affecting our nation and people.”
