We Haven't Lost all our Marbles After All Message Intro

We welcome Rev. Lynn Sifrit who has a special message for us titled We Haven't Lost all our Marbles After All. What do a lost driver's license, a devastating tornado, and a handful of marbles have in common? Through stories of loss, resilience, and unexpected hope, this sermon explores God's faithful presence in life's darkest moments. When everything seems lost, the promise of Easter reminds us that the worst thing is never the last thing and that even in the midst of grief, God is still bringing life, hope, and reasons to believe we haven't lost all our marbles after all.
