Bring Life

On Sunday, our annual Outdoor Worship celebrates the beginning of summer and the 4th of July. We also begin a new series focused on the healing stories of Jesus.

How

This Sunday culminates our series on building community. As we explore the ways David responds to the threats of violence and war from Goliath and the Philistines, how can we learn about building community?

Who

This Sunday in our conversations about community, we remember the selection of King David from his family. He is the least expected to be King, and yet becomes the King who brings the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem.

Why

This Sunday in our conversations about community, we hear a story about people who want something different. Ultimately, they get what they want, but they’re warned that it won’t work out the way they expect.

What

This Sunday we continue our conversations about community. The story of Samuel’s call in the temple helps us to think about the importance of community in unusual circumstances.

Trinity = Community

This Sunday is Trinity Sunday and also begins a new series on community. Consider that the Trinity (Creator, Son, Holy Spirit) may be seen as an expression of community in unity.

A New Life in the Spirit

This Sunday is both Pentecost Sunday and Heritage Sunday. Come join in worship as we hear Pastor Christopher bring a message about newness made possible by the Holy Spirit.

Sacrifice

Sunday’s message is about love, even when loving brings challenges. It is a selfless love that invites us to look beyond ourselves.

Common Wisdom

Sunday’s message is essentially about grace and who can receive it. Look for a message that includes some music!
