This Week at Evergreen
What if grace isn’t just a gift for the good days—but the thing that holds us together when everything else is falling apart? What if God’s grace shows up not with answers or escape, but with quiet strength and presence? In this new series, we’ll explore what it means to be sustained—not by our own effort, but by the strong grace of God.
