Join us online for Communion Sunday and to contemplate this question, how do we know we are worthy? It’s not by our accomplishments, not by our ability to overcome our sinful nature, not by our looks or achievements, but by the fact that Jesus considered us worth dying for! He ascribes that much worth to us. Our worth comes from HIS estimation of us. Worth dying for. You won’t want to miss it.
