“Unafraid–Living As Easter People,” an eight-week message series, continues in June at Gilman United Methodist Church — June 18, “Living Beyond Fear”; and June 25, “The Power to Live Unbound.” In this series, we explore some common worries and fears experienced in our society today. We will look at practical steps for overcoming these fears based upon Scripture and our faith that promises again and again that we don’t need to live in fear. We will explore what it means to live with courage and hope as Easter people.
