Life can hold trauma, grief, and pain. Yet, when we surrender every aspect of our lives to God, He expertly reaches into the terrible situations to employ His re-creative power. God desires to rewrite our stories into something beautiful and life-giving. What does it mean to truly surrender all? And how do we take the first step? Join us for a special message on Sabbath, May 24, as Chaplain Robert Mills shares a message titled “God is Rewriting Your Story.”
