Past Sundays' Messages
Welcome to our Sunday Message archives. Whether you missed a Sunday, are needing a little inspiration in the week, or are just checking us out, we hope these recordings will be a blessing to you. Of course, hearing the message in person is always better. If you're in Laramie on Sunday morning, we hope you will join us for our 9:00 summer service.

| Summer Read Series: The Shack. Summer is a perfect time to pick up a good book. This July we are having a group conversation with the popular book, The Shack, by WIlliam P. Young as we wrestle with some of the big questions that Mack, the book's protaganist, faces when he encounteres the Living God in the place of his life's greatest tragedy. We may not always come to the same conclusions, but this book is a wonderful place to begin a converation. | ||
