Upcoming Events Ignite Winter Retreat Most people do not like sitting in the back seat. If they can t be the driver, they call out shotgun to have the right to sit in the front passenger seat. Being people who like to control life, we often claim the driver s seat and have God sit in the passenger seat. Is that what God desires of us? Is He supposed to be in the passenger seat while we drive our lives, or are we supposed to be riding shotgun as He directs our lives? Come to winter retreat and discover what it means to let the Holy Spirit drive your life. Contact Pastor Jason for more details! jason.mcdonnell@tricityministries.org 2211 W. Germann Rd.
