"You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid."

From Matthew 5:14




This Sunday's "sermon" is in two parts. The first are some very powerful testimonies from two ladies from Theta Alpha, followed by their leading a song. The second is pastor Paul sharing about our call to stand up and stand out like Jesus as we share the light of his love.

There are times in life when our experience of God's presence and our pursuit of God's will are particularly important; college is one of them. Theta Alpha is the only Christian women's sorority on the campus of the University of Central Florida. For many years, our facilities have been part of the lives and faith of many young Christian women. Many have told me that the faith of their college years has been inseparable from Theta Alpha and the generosity of our sharing space with them.

This Sunday, they will once again lead us in songs of worship, share about the ministry of Theta Alpha, and speak about how God is at work in their lives and faith..
