The Basics That Bring Us Together

March 30 - May 11, 2008 We are all great builders of walls and barriers. Our mortar of words and actions can seal years of hurt, anger, and feelings that can stunt our spiritual growth.

You won't want to miss any of Pastor Mark Hartman's messages. You will hear and learn about all that Ephesians has to share about this great topic.
