The sermon title is “Where Do You Store Your Wealth?”

We have a practice of collecting things— making ourselves comfortable, happy, trying to save something in case things go wrong. But, these things are not of any use once we have completed our short stay in this world, so what about the rest of our life? Hmmm?

Let’s explore this through as it relates to readings from Emanuel Swedenborg. We look forward to your input. Zoom link will be provided to church members and their contacts.
