"Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine." - Ephesians 3:20
Our first 10 years as a congregation have been filled with God moments. As we celebrate all that God has done, we look forward to all that God can do. Imagine the people who will find a life-giving journey with Jesus, IN community and FOR our community in this place and sent out to Live Like Jesus wherever they go. It's time to dream about all that God will do in the next 10 years.
Sundays: August 27 - September 17, 2023
God's purpose for your life may look different from someone else's - and sometimes we don't respond as faithfully to our God-given purpose as God (or even we) might prefer. Yet, God's call on our lives remains. By looking at the story of David - who may have started out faithfully answering God's call but also found himself wrestling deeply with his own sin, his misuse of power, and the pain he inflicted upon others - this series reminds us of what our God-given purpose is, and challenges us in how we might truly live into it.
Sundays: July 16 - August 20
God's creation can be a source of awe, wonder, and lessons on faith. Jesus taught by inviting us to consider the birds and seeds and flowers and the psalms tells us that the heavens declare the glory of God. The book of scripture and book of creation both point to their creator. This summer we will take time to consider God's good creation and the lessons for faith and life we find as we consider God's creation and God's creatures!
Sundays: June 11-July 2
Faith is more than just a set of beliefs or a feeling. It changes our lives and moves us to faithfully love God and our neighbors. This is one of the core messages of James, brother of Jesus, in his letter that we have in the New Testament. In June we will think about a faith that makes a difference and the 3 Simple Rules (Do No Harm, Do Good, and Stay in Love with God) of the Methodist Movement that help us have a living faith. Based on a series from Greater NJ Conference UMC.
Sundays: April 19 - May 21

Sundays: February 26 - April 2, 2023
Jesus spent much of his life among the lowly and outsiders. The gospel account of Luke highlights this more clearly than any of the other gospels. It is a joyful invitation to know and love Jesus who loved all people, and to follow his lowly way as we Live Like Jesus.
