The Misfits: Fall Sermon Series
We’re a country of labels. Doctor, president, hero, all star, beautiful…labels most would love to claim as their own. It’s easy to tag and categorize people, but labels can stigmatize, too. Geek, weirdo, stupid, alien. Consciously or subconsciously, people will put distance between themselves and those they feel don’t quite fit. The misfits on the edge of society. On the edge of the Christian church? Join us for a new sermon series, The Misfits, that starts September 13. Discover how the ordinary, the ostracized, the unexpected who encounter God can change their lives. And change lives!
In God’s house we’re all misfits. In God’s house, we all fit!
