New Message Series

Series Description: TGIF is a popular acronym for “Thank God it’s Friday,” used to
express the joy some feel knowing that the work week has officially ended and that
they have two days off to enjoy. It was also the name of a block of family friendly
sitcoms aired on the ABC network during the 1980’s each Friday evening. However,
in this new series, Senior Pastor Lance Watson shows us that we have a lot more
than just one day or one show for which to thank God. Join us as we discover more
reasons we should TGIF!
